About Replacing Probes
You can replace probes by using the Probe Setup dialog. You can replace an existing probe with a probe of the same type by retrieving it from a file system or from a workcell. The TIP number must be the same for the replacement probe and the probe to be replaced.
A file system can be your hard disk or any Windchill workspace or commonspace.
* 
If the existing probe is a scanning probe, the replacement probe must be of the same type.
