Can Intercon be used for probing?

[lavrgs]

I would like to use my probe to measure items but would prefer to get data that is directly usable. The problem is that the probing cycles can measure a bore and output the diameter but with the radial and wall following cycles the data is offset by 1/2 the ball diameter. I've brought the data into fusion360 and that has issues. I've brought the data into Creo and it imports without too much work; I need to create a csv file then change the extension to .pts. It still has the 1/2 ball offset.

I have the need to measure some large radii and started by setting 0,0 at one end, then incrementally moving the x axis and probing to the wall. I write the data down but would like something more automated. The radii being measured are in the 18 inch range.

Why not post process the data with an excel spreadsheet?

csv is data brought into a spreadsheet

i measure large radi on the surfboards i build. I use a cad system (rhino) to create an offset path from the .dig data i collect to create the actual surface data, takes about three clicks to go from dig (1/2 ball diameter) path to actual surface path.

How do you measure the curve?
