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?

If you are adding the recall external alignment to an existing program, add the statement prior to any manual alignment features. Then, run the program including the manual alignment one time to teach the location of the part in relation to the external alignment.

For new programs, just make sure you add a recall statement referencing the external alignment before you start teaching any manual alignment features. Then it's just programming like normal.
