Vector probing increases probing accuracy by modifying the probe path to be-
come orthogonal to the target surface at contact.
Check the Record probed points... box to
enable vector probing.
CAUTION
Some probing applications might include tight part geometry
that doesn’t provide adequate space for vector probing using
default parameters. The probe approach distance can be reduced
in the Probe data path screen of the Probe menu if required. Be
careful to provide enough distance to avoid probe collisions.
NOTE
More detailed information regarding probe path configuration
is included in the discussion of the Probe Path Data screen of
the Probe menu.
