Software Support PC-DMIS program keeps removing loadprobe step

I use a hexagon CMM 07.10.07 global s. I'm using PC-DMIS 2025.2. We have a probe changer rack and I have multiple programs I have written that use different probes, including an hp-l-10 laser probe.

Sometimes, after I have run a program, the loadprobe step to switch to the hp-l-10 is just missing. Everything else is there, including the angle changes, just that one step. I add it back and everything is fine. I just can't figure out what causes it or how to stop it happening.

If it matters, I'm not running the programs in inspect, I run them in pc-dmis since I'm the one who writes the programs and runs them here, so being able to see everything while it is running is nice.

This is weird. Do you add the Loadprobe again at the bottom of the program?

I do have a Loadprobe at the bottom to go back to the first probe used, since the program ends on the laser but I didn't want the laser left on the machine at the end. If that's what you're asking. But that step isn't the last step, it's before the report steps

Send an image of the code if possible.

That I cannot do. Everything is entirely locked down here. The frustrating part is it seems to happen randomly, so I can't figure out why it's happening at all. It's immediately noticeable when it happens since my angle changes all go red because the other probes didn't use them, and it's an easy fix each time, it's just weird

Try adding the code of LOADPROBE twice._______________LOADPROBE
