Good day to you all.

Getting a little irritated here. I keep un-checking the text box that should allow me to turn off my probe display, but soon as I go to click a point on my CAD model it has mysteriously "checked" itself again. This means that I cannot see where I want to measure a point as the ruby completely covers the point.

Is there a setting that I am missing somewhere?

Thanks,

Not sure if you CAN get rid of the ruby like you can get rid of the rest. I think you are just stuck with it.

You COULD, however, change the PROBE.DAT file definition of it. You can make the ruby draw smaller WITHOUT effecting anything, other than the picture of it in Pcdmis.

Thanks Matt for the quick reply, that is better, not perfect, but it will do.

Did you try the Hide and Show graphics button on the graphics mode tool bar? You can untick the probe and it should stay hidden until you retick it.

Stays hidden in my version which is 4.1 until the probe toolbox or calibrate window is used.

Thanks.

I have tried that but it doesn't work. The reason I have not seen this before is because I usually work online, not offline. This quirk only happens when I'm working offline.

Over here its 4:00 in the morning Virgil (Good Morning). I just tried what you are having a problem with and had the same thing, that the tip would not go away. What I did was make the cad large and you can see behind the tip and should be able to get close to where you want to take your point. Just a thought. It will let you take the hit on the black point. I think you have found a PC DEMON

Might not what you're looking for but,
You could enter the nominals (spot you want to measure) and press "FIND VECTOR (S)"

Correction,
I meant to say "Find nearest CAD element".

Good day!
