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

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?

  • It can be done. You need to have manual Align in both programms. Just recall the startup Align and switch DCC to MAN, just before pasting the second program and it should work.

    AS long as you are not trying to access to the features from the First program (top), its not an issue, and no need for a Equate align.
