New user here. I am probing my set up without material. I need my probe to run this tool path located at the bottom. How can I run this without getting a "probe did not trigger" alarm.  How can I create a path in FUSION with the probe and use P9810 without material.

Hi @Juan.SalazarR59T2,

Can you explain a bit more what you are trying to do. What physical object do you want to probe to touch and take record the values for to set the WCS?

Good morning Richard,
I already have a probe routine set up on my WCS and to orientate the vice. But i am trying to avoid an operator from ever possibly loading in the vice with material in the wrong way. I just want to run a few tool path's and throw some material on the vice and have it alarm out if not set correctly. I would like to avoid my probe from even coming down to the fixture. Is there any way I can just run few lines above the fixture without have to touch off on material or fixure?

Hi, I think I know what you are trying to do now. 

So you are trying to use the probe to checks that the part is NOT there?

This isn't something we allow you to do directly from inside of Fusion, you can hand code it yourself, however If it was me I would try to probe the face of the jaw for example and if you hit the part that shouldn't be there then it will alarm with "Unexpected surface found"

OK, thanks Richard. I'll give it a try.
