Looping Parts on a Grid

Hi guys this is my first post so i apologize if this has been posted before.
I have parts that are arranged on a 4x3 grid or a 5x5 grid(the parts are the same, the matrix is different), and I would like to loop the program to measure the whole gride at a time. Is this possible? Most of the posts I've read here so far make it seem as though parts can only be arranged in one direction to loop with offsets.Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Doesn't the magnet have an adverse affect on the probe? Seems like I remember someone talking about the probe changer having a magnet to release the probe or something like that. Do they have to write the program or at least change the machine zero positions every time they run these parts? Sounds to me like consistency would be a better approach for them and allowing you to have a less complicated program to offset to the correct next part position. maybe they just like to have to spend time changing things all the time?
