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?

  • Thank you. I got it another way. Will fill in later.
    I very much appreciate your help.


    It looks like I did not get it to work after all.

    When I hit Equate, I am expecting to see the probe in the graphics window relate correctly to the part. That doesn't happen.

    Is going into manual mode really necessary? I don't understand why...

    TIA
