### Troubleshooting Column Placement

Collisions:

Problem: PC-DMIS can't place the column specified because there is a collision with another column in the same fixture. If you continue past the warning message, you will be able to graphically see which columns are colliding on the main PC-DMIS graphics window.

Resolution: You will have to change the location at which the fixture is held or change the configuration of the module so that the column is no longer in a collision situation.

Out of Machine Volume:

Problem: The fixture will be placed outside of the usable fixture volume. Generally this means that if the fixture were executed, a portion of it would be placed off of the CMM plate generating an error during execution or damaging one of the columns or machine.

Resolution: Change the offsets associated with this fixture. To do this, go to the Machine Orientation area of the Fixture Points tab and change the X offset and/or Y offset.
