External alignment file

I have heard that one can save an alignment as a file to be called up later and used in another program to where you can have a number of programs which use this one alignment file and therefore e.g. only need to do one initial align that can be used for a number of programs.
I have tried this and the program has ignored the inserted external alignment command file completely.

Does anyone know what the right procedure is to get this to function properly?

Save alignment / recall external alignment ??

Nearly every program I generate recalls an external alignment of the receiver we have on each machine. Each machine has it's own saved so a program written on any CMM will run on any CMM. The fixture the part is placed in will fit the receiver on each machine so the "location" is the same relative to the receiver. Just gotta watch operational envelopes from machine to machine.

Have fun,
