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?

  • This method is not working for me Wolfman. I guess where I'm having my misunderstanding is the probe never corrects itself with relation to the model.
    I I also don't understand why we're offsetting if we're using equate.

    You say to drop down into the startup alignment then later you tell me to equate the new alignment with the first DCC alignment. Did I understand that right?
  • @ wolfman, Ahhh, I see. No, I need the single CAD graphic to equate. I appreciate your time though.

    @agarcia as well. The 2 models idea means 2 programs... with no ability to intersect dimensions from 1 to the other.

    Thanks fellas...
