Where does the wizard output the probing data?

When I open the hidden script nothing is in it, all the other scripts work.

Thanks!!!!!
I need to find the same thing in the turn wizard to change every M3 command into M4, I'll look for it inside the turn wizard folder.

You rock! Thanks!!!
It leads me to a new question: how can I force the text engraving wizard to output a string different to the one there is now?

Video P*r*o*b*i*n*g / Best setup for probing a trumpet mouthpiece

« on: August 26, 2015, 05:39:48 AM »

Hello!
I'm into the mouthpiece business and I have made many so far using mach 3 with a couple of lathes.
Now I bought a 4 axis mill that I'm using for engravings and light 2.5 sculpting on brass plates.
From time to time I have customers asking to copy their mouthpieces and most of the times I ask a friend of mine to make scans with a "arm"specifically made for this kind of jobs.
Unfortunately he lives far away and timing can be an issue for some customer.
I then thought to make it on the mill or on the lathe.
Can mach 3 do a scan of a curved shape?
What probe is best for this job?
Since a mouthpiece is a simple Mix of curves revolved on one axis I need the probe to scan only on two axis: let's say I want to measure the width at different depth values.
Can I then obtain a cloud of points that I can then transform into a complex curve?
The minimum diameter is 3.5mm.
Can the program compensate for the probing tip diameter?
Thanks!
