  1. Activate the Manufacturing Program and select Corner Probing in the Prismatic Machining action bar.
    A Corner Probing entity is added to the Manufacturing Program. The Corner Probing dialog box opens directly at the Geometry tab page . This tab includes a sensitive icon to help you specify the geometry. Areas of the icon are colored red indicating that this geometry is required. The Probing side selections Inside or Outside.

  2. Still in the Geometry tab:
