guypb, I am using probes to check parts quite often - many times a day using VQC and writing some codes by hand , I can not imagine to work without them, If you ask what you asked I am really wounder how many people use the full potential of their probes , how many people inspect parts with probes , and how many people use probe to set the 4th axis flatness.

back to your question , I have no trouble to inspect parts by VQC or handmade programs with G65 P98xx , I see no way that you can bring some improvements. If I had a wish , I would wish to have inspection cycles in my CAM , to make inspection programs by mouse clicking.
