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?

  • I need to keep the jogbox off the table if at all possible...
    And you write a second DCC alignment as well?
    Can the (2nd) manual alignment be 'skipped'?... (after it has been executed once) I do use holding fixtures.

    ftr, I've written this as a single program, not a paste. (Picture a 7" cube with holes 4" deep.... on all 4 sides... on a 4-5-4. :blahSlight smile
    So, I can only hit 2 sides at a time.

    For the first time ever, I neeed Equate. And so far it's whoopin mah aff. I'm back at it in the morning.
    Thanks

    Yes the second manual alignment can be skipped once you've run through the 2nd manual alignment the first time. Just like running the part for the first time in a fixture. Then use a goto and labels to skip it the second time around.

    also a readpoint would work. do the readpoint once, align to readpoint and dcc alignment
