I spent as much time as I could this weekend tying off as many of the loose ends of the ProbeIt plugin as I could, and working on a manual to go with the plugin. I'm ready to take a break from working on this a bit While I'll still call the plugin 'preliminary' and definitely incomplete, I think it is stable enough for others to try out and see how it works. As usual, I use inch units, so I hope there isn't anything that causes problem for you metric folks. If there is, let me know and I'll fix it up !
I've made the prelim version of the plugin available as a 'zip' file. It's to large to post here, so I've put it at the following linked page: http://www.craftycnc.com/probeit-for-uccnc/, with the download file here: http://www.craftycnc.com/download/598/. (fyi, The links here on the forum are the only pointers to the plugin currently).
Installation is easy: ProbeIt_UC.dll goes into the plugins folder, and the ProbeIt folder should also get copied into plugins folder (with all its contents).
Please note, I've tried to make a reference manual (PDF) which can be accessed from a button on the 'About' tab, it also lives in the plugin\probeit folder to open it directly (and yes, the manual is a work in progress also...). I also left some sample output files in the folder as well to you can see if the DXF files it outputs are usable for you, etc.
Here is a short video on the 'surface probing' portion of the plugin. This is was incorporating a version of the 'ProbeCloud' plugin I've had available a while, and cleaning some stuff up with regards to file open/save issues. It isn't pretty, but it works. I'll save making it pretty for a new day.... and hopefully replace the 'charting' that I use for the display.
I look forward to your feedback, good and bad. Obviously, the bad feedback will do more to cause updates to the plugin than the good feed back
Thanks again, I will try to look at it tonight. I can't imagine there is anything between 1.2112 and 1.2113 that would matter.
Can you confirm you copied the 'probeit' folder and it's contents into the plugin directory? If you click continue, did it recover and run, or did it crash ?
And last favor I ask, could you please copy paste the text (scrolling down further to what is shown) from that exception window and either email it to me or paste here.

I'm getting the same kind of error as Markcadcam with ver. 2.113 and win7 I'll try it on my machine computer which probably has an older version to see if that works and get back to you.
Here's the error message win7 32bit uccnc 2.111 See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
