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?

  • Most of the parts I work on have equate.
    Some just flip over, some flip and rotate 90 degrees.
    Main issue is making sure your alignments have the same origin, direction in relation to the part itself regardless of how it is set on the cmm, and fit the part back into the identical position.
    Most of the time i have an extra set of points verifying setups are identical.
