5 axis probing. Can Mach3 do it?

[neilw20]

Can Mach3 handle automatic probing of shapes on a 5 AXIS machine.

Not positive, but I think only XYZA.

Thanks Gerry.

Is it possible to write some macros to handle multiple probing.
Somehow I need to make a heap of coordinates get stored somewhere.

Not just a single point. Needs to be automated. Process them later.
Pre CNC era parts need to be duplicated for repair work.

Hit a spot. Log location. Move to next scan location.
How is it done, or is probing just only for toolsetting oneshot type hit.

I've manually logged a heap of spots before with one of the wizards.
This needs to be automated.

I believe you use the G31 probe command. But I think it will only write XYZA data to the point cloud file.
