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?

Scott, we have most programs ask operator if part is fixtured correctly (link to a powerpoint file if they need) and when asked if OK? program goes right into DCC, regardless of machine. (our 2 CMMs don't have the same home position either, i don't think any out there are identical twins)
Maybe you could post the code? With 2 (obviously) different 'zero' alignments stored/recalled on the individual CMM boxes under the same name, you should have no problems.
