I am not sure how to go about this. We are a job shop, so it is very common to have a single or only a few parts to check per job. Is it possible to have a program that I use a manual alignment to find top and center of a circle of the bore, and then be prompted to input the bore diameter, which then leads to DCC measurement of the bore?

We currently have it setup so anyone can run our "hole" program which is just manually measuring a circle relative to the top plane. That works fine and we get good measurements from our TP20 setup. If I run the same thing on my machine with the SP25M setup, I don't get good, reliable results. It might be off my .002" on a ring gage. But if I use the SP25M to measure the same ring with a DCC program, I get within .0002".  Both machines just passed calibration with flying colors. 

I would like to have the ability to quickly measure a diameter without making a specific DCC program for that one part. Any help would be appreciated.
