VCT file not probing correctly

I simulated a soft jaw fixturing program in which I saved the cut stock. AUTO-DIFF at .001 tolerance shows the only excess/gouging is the chamfering process but if I use .vct file as a Fixture component for part simulation the probed locations are around .05-.07 in both the X and Y. The Z is off around .002-.003 and that surface wasn't touched. If I use the soft jaw .stl file the probing is .00005 off at the worst. I've probed .vct files as a Stock component with no issues (that I've caught).

Is it wrong to use .vct files as a Fixture component or is this a bug of some type?

Re: VCT file not probing correctly

Sometime I have a same problems with touch probe. Even I try to prob VERICUT MODEL CYLDER (for VERICUT this model is a mesh with model tolerance) and probe contacting with mesh edge - no contact. I think - the same problem with stl and vct files.
