i have a question, i am using an Larken Automation Machine... i was trying to probe something then at the very end(about 2 and a half hours later while i was going to shout for joy that i was finished the Larken Machine squashed my item that i was probing(it was a toy car)... I pressed E-stop(but then i could not continue) now i do not get any save button for dxg and the L3d button does not work....
Also i then tried using the pause button next time(then bring up the z axis, then continue running the probing job(got an I/O error 103 or something)...
The spooler program does not do what i want it to do....
I want it to save a partially completed probe... and i want to be able to reposition the probe and then continue running without an I/O error message...
Also when you restart the computer the temp.LKS file resets or something i want that fixed.... also i need to disable the limit switch after restarting the whole thing sometimes to get it working again then enable it again...
otherwise your program works great

You can't save a partially probes item. The lines of data must balance to create the polygon mesh.
If you are probling and the probe develops a bad contact where it doesn't close, it will raise the Z axis and stop.

Sorry i missed this thread up until now !
