Error in tool_offsetview.py

status bar test is recorded in the log, so can always be looked up.
I can unlock the log and settings in auto mode.
I don't see too much in settings that could create a problem.

Both are one word changes so lets test and see...

There was some free space on the bottom bar of the bar, so I added a 'machine' status, if it's useful, you can make changes.
 
Someone on the forum suggested replacing the probe ball with a ruby one, so I replaced all the balls with ruby ones.
 
Roguish. You want to achieve high measurement accuracy, I don't know if changing the ball to a ruby one will help but you can try  

I agree the red looks nicer - but I have just changed location of the ball in most of the images.
I also like the status label in the bar,

Thanks for the work.....
The material of one's spherical probe tip doesn't really matter. It's the pure accuracy of the sphere diameter. Most all are good enough for simple day to day use. Guess if it's used on a super high end CMM for highly critical dimensioned parts it would make a difference. Then the old rule of $$$ == quality is true.

In regard to the images and layouts, etc, of the probing routines, consistency is critical.

Chris might disagree but the corner balls need to be in the white area. Misleading where they are.

If the cute red or purple balls are the 'starting' point, they should definitely be where they belong, per the probing code......
Once again, probes are expensive. It's not fun to have to test every routine before actually using them. And testing with a finger poised on the E-stop button.....
The images are a part of the docs. And remember, a picture is worth lots of words.....
