Making 2 Part Programs into 1. One Graphic, One report

DCHRM
I have a top half part program, and a bottom half. Is there a way I can merge the two? I want to run the top half, program A, then input a comment to the operator for them to flip the part, touch off, then measure the bottom half. All using one graphic, one report, one model. I don't want the features measured on the bottom half, program B, to be in space. I want the features to be pulled from the same model used in program A. Then dimension all 500 items in one report.

Can an equate alignment work? I thought those were used if the part moves laterally in any direction. But in this case, I need to flip the part to measure the bottom half.

Any advice?

  • My understanding of Equate is that it is a work-around for parts that are too long to
    fit into the machine's measurement envelope.
    ...that it can only be used to slide the part in Y. (IOW, the alignment surface vectors must match)

    I can't imagine how you would use Equate for a part that fits on the machine.
