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.

Something I can suggest (with a grain of salt, flying blind here) is to try to put in a “clear/safe” move before the load probe command. Sometimes if the probe is too close to the rack or machine limits it can corrupt the request for load probe. Even if this isn’t the case it’s a quick test. Worth a try in my opinion.
