How do you keep ur programs neat and tidy?

Hey all
Maybe this thread belongs in "tips and tricks", but ill have a shot at it here.

As i mentioned in the title, how do you keeps ur programs neat and tidy so other CMM programmers can go into the programs and adjust e.t.c?

Do you use groups? Do you do $$ comments explaining stuff?
Do you sort out the code for alignment, measurment routine and evaluation etc?

Do you have a system for how you name the elements?

Me i try to group the Manual alignment, CNC-alignment, measurment code and evaluation.
I also try to name the elements after the drawing, such at Ø15±0.2 etc

How do you guys keep the programs clean?
Post some pictures of code if you'd like.
All answers are welcome.

  • I myself create folders with the customer first, then subfolders under that with part numbers, I have several different 6DXXXXX Part numbers, so there is a folder for multiple 6D part numbers, and the same with other part numbers. I showed a few programs in the 6DXXXXX folder


    I am not going to show customer folder as to protect their identity or interest.
