we tested for it and found auto measure is working in your scenario but,
manual measure has a math bug in your scenario, it will be fixed in v5.2.
A beta will be released as v5.19 if you'd like to try it out before the official v5.2 release.

There is also another math bug.
Setting a tool to X0 with manual measure and rear approach it adds 2x Parameter 281, front approach is ok.
So I have to measure with front approach, and after measuring it set it back to rear approach.

And I thought I'm just doing it wrong

Thank you for the investigation!

Hello,
We've implemented a fix intended to resolve both of the math bugs mentioned. Our tests with the X and Z offsets showed promising results, so we hope this addresses the issues you've been experiencing.
The build can be found here:
https://centroid-support.filemail.com/d/rluihmtphqyvmrh
As a heads up to anyone unfamiliar with updating from previous versions of CNC12:
- I'd recommend renaming and creating a copy of your cncm/cnct directory so you can easily revert back to an older version if desired.
- You can use Ctrl+P to automatically create a PDF screen capture of every menu in the Wizard.
- Avoid using restore report when installing to prevent any potential issues.
More information can be found on page 10 of our software installation guide which can be found here:
https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... ctions.pdf
Please let us know if you run into any problems during installation or if this fix doesn't seem to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Michael

Acorn6 setup with Gang Tooling
Tool Measure with TT is ok for front and rear approach.
Manual X Measure rear also ok with X Diameter as a positive value
Rear tooling manual with X Diameter = 0 and nose vector 6 nok, it is adding two times the TT diameter to X like before.
Front with same tool and X Diameter = 0 is ok.
RTG is nok -> fatal error

Uwe,
Could you please provide a video of you performing each of your measurements with X Diameter = 0, especially the rear approach?
Thank you,
Michael
