Probing
Definition
Probing cycles are available in Milling and Turning.
3 types of Probing are proposed:
Probing of Stock to fix the alignment
Probing of Stock for the origins
Probing of Part to control dimensions
We can also select wireframe geometry to force special points to the probing. Then, the point is automatically projected on the solid according to the nearest normal direction.
If we modify the coordinates of a point that has been probed (SHIFT+ left-click), we automatically project these new coordinates on the solid.
The interest to use Wireframe is the ability to use the silhouette positioned at Y=0 for Turning.
