    Probe circular boss broke probe tip

    I've got PP 2.0. I just tried probing using circular boss center. When it finished probing, it jogged to the center of the circle and broke my probe tip.
    I was probing a pipe flange- thread OD area, not whole flange OD. See picture

    Are you on 2.0.0 or 2.0.1?

    I probed a circular boss yesterday and it didn't crash to center. Sorry about that probe tip though. ouch.

    I tried it again today and it worked properly. That's good, but I wish I could reproduce the problem. Now I'm a bit wary and those probe tips are expensive!
