Re: Digitizing
From what you have said it would seem that there is a probing routine in your machine software. There is a lot of software available to convert a point cloud to several different CAD type formats.
So the piece you are missing is that which would log the probe coordinates to a .CSV or other delimited text file to export the data. From a programming perspective this is a pretty basic function: Read the current DRO data, and append to a file, rinse/repeat. But if you don't have the source code for the machine software, then this is not really possible. One possibility would be a macro if your software supports that.
What machine controller/software do you have?
