### Showing Only the Current Probe Tip

Similar to highlighting the active probe tip, you can also hide all non-active probe tips on your star probe so that only the current probe tip is visible. You do this by selecting the Draw active tip only check box located on the Edit Probe Component dialog box. If this option is not selected, PC-DMIS will use the default mode of highlighting the current probe tip.

To show only the current probe tip:

1. Select Insert | Hardware Components | Probe (or press F9 on your star probe's LOADPROBE command in your part program). The Probe Utilities dialog box appears.

2. Double-click on the probe head component in the Probe Description area. The Edit Probe Component dialog box appears.

3. Select the Draw active tip only check box.

4. Click OK on this dialog box and on the Probe Utilities dialog box.

Now when the part program executes a tip command, any non-active tips will be hidden from view.
