Probe Basic offset direction not seeming to work was created by kello711
I am trying to load up a 1" wood surfacing bit. I wanted to use the tool offset direction in the probing but it doesn't seem to work. I didn't find anything in the documentation to explain how. I added the diameter to the tool table to no avail. Also on the probing menu, what do "User Params" 1 and 2 do?

It should work. Using the diameter offset changes the coordinates of the touch point in the macro.

Ok, I'll admit that I overlooked the functionality of the button. I tried inputing an offset but it wouldn't let me. "TOOL DIAM OFFSET" is a button that turns it on and changes the offset distance.

Thanks for setting me straight.

yup yup,, its pulled from the tool table and activated or not in the touchoff parameters.

user params 1 and 2 are there for you to use in any custom macro capacity. you can simply click on the label names and type your new name and it will store prsistently and you can look at the parameter names in the docs as what to pass to the subroutines. so if you wanted to add something specific to your machine you can do that with those and have realtime updating parameter entries in the ui. was just a "here ya go all" thing i figured might be useful and i had some space to use up so win win!
