Probing 3d   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #110097 of 114996 |
OK been working with the array probe macros and they are great! THANK YOU!



I would like to find a way to amend the program so after one array pass it
would drop down in z and probe again think of probing the inside of a glass
from top to bottom.



It seems like a simple idea but I can't get my head around it any ideas or
am I just missing a parameter and it's already there?



Happy the 4th of July - All the best, Henry

Henry you would run it as a SUB with each loop lowering in Z the amount you want. Let me know if you need help with it. Just a thought, (;-) TP...

IF you like I can just rebuild the array so you can just plug in the depth and the step amount. It will ask you acouple of more questions. Just a thought, (;-)...

HIYA HENRY, I don't think it will be a problem to do both and yes it would still work as it does now. It would just ask two more questions on the setup What is...

Hi Terry, Excuse my naiveté but on the depth and steps wouldn’t that just be controlled by an input parameter and not static? My other imposition –I mean...

The depth and step would be used to setup the number of loops to lower the probing sub 1 step at a time. If you were to probe down -1.000" at steps of .1" then...
