Looping a Loop?

Donny Wallbanger
Good morning all I hope you are all having a good day, I have a program that contains a simple loop to check multiple pockets on a valve rotator body, We have recently set up a few other machines to make the same part and I want to loop the entire program Loop included to check multiple parts at once.

My question is, can you Loop a Loop?
Or will the end point of the Loop checking multiple pockets cancel out the Loop that would be needed at the start of the program.

  • Since we brought up looping a loop. I was wondering if there was a simpler way on something related to this. Engineering has made me a fixture with 2 parts facing in X plus direction. and the other 2 in the X minus direction. Now the way I figure I will do this is, I will create a mirror program, and copy that into my existing program and put all the IF/END or GOTO commands in there that are needed or is there something I don't know about that will run the program mirrored?

    When you create a mirrored program, it mirrors the code. There's nothing special inside the program, so you should be able to copy and paste as you would between other programs.

    You may be already aware, but it's not good to have features with the same name in the program, so when you copy and past, use paste with pattern. Set the number of times to 1 with no pattern. That will increment all the feature, alignment, and dimension names.

    Well yeah, but I was wondering if there was an easy way to mirror without mirroring the program. So in short your saying NO, I assume? I guess my only other thought is to keep my dimensions called the same for all my information gets dumped in DataPage. Shut up , I know that's not a question to ask in this part of the forum. Just thinking out loud. Rolling eyes
