Ok so I'm fairly new to all of this. I had to have a new fixture made to hold my calibration spheres. One of the spheres sticks up in the Z axis and the other sticks out in the Y. When I am trying to calibrate the top tip of a star probe on the sphere in the y axis the probe starts to come towards the sphere and then crashes into the table. It wants to go about 15mm into the granite surface! I don't have anything on that would tell it to move that far from the sphere. What could I possibly be missing?

Yeah, try making a 'new' profile file that is exactly the same (different name) and see if it will calibrate.
Another thing you CAN do is to manually calibrate ALL the tips (no DCC at all!). This will 'force' Pcdmis to 'see' them where they really are, even if the file is bugged out.sigpic

Qualification spheres are backwards from every other vector used in PCDmis. The shank vector of the qual sphere points toward the ball. Is it possible that the vector for you qual sphere is backward? A quick way to tell is use a regular stylus and pick up the shank of your qual sphere as a manual cylindar. Start away from the sphere and move toward it using at least 3 rows and 3 hits per row. Dimension that cylinder with V and see that your qual sphere vectors match or are very close to the vector of the cylinder.
