Hu,
Had an another idea. Do you have a 3 axis dro?
I know that Anilam DRO's have a way to output data to a computer. IE: use a touch probe and then output the cordinates to computer.
I don't know if other brands of dro's will do this, but I'm sure some of them would.
Even if you only had a 2 axis you could lock in z and take some points then move z dn and take another cloud.
Just a thought. Might be worth a call to your dro guy.
Good luck,
Ward
