Can I loop this?

pernilla
Hi guys!

I'm on my last week before 4 weeks vacation and I feel great! Sunglasses

I've got this part that I'll be programming, and it's really something...
Not that complicated but it's large and it's got a whole bunch of small planes and edges inside, and the drawing states "Profile of any surface 0.8 ABC" (mm),
so I'll have to place points everywhere. It's kind of divided i two halves where the pattern is the same on the left vs right side. (Unfortunately I can't disclose the drawing document.)

So here's my question:
Can I use a loop to program left side, then move it to the right side and get all the points there too?

And would this work? 


V1 = LOOP/START, ID = YES, NUMBER = 2, START =1, SKIP =,
OFFSET: XAXIS = 0, YAXIS = 208.82, ZAXIS = 0, ANGLE = 0

[Place all my points here]

LOOP/END


And will all the points be getting unique element names, will I be able to see the second set of points on the CAD-model?

Have a great day everyone! Frog

    Ok, here's how this part looks and as you can see the left and right area are the same, and not mirrored.
    If Pattern/Paste with pattern is a better option then I'll do that instead.

    I will be using the A0B0 probe angle through all points (and circles) in these areas.
    There will be no need to use the mirror option so I guess I can place the origin near the corner of the part where REF B intersects with REF C?

    I can live with ID's such as Pnt1[1] and Pnt1[2], as long as I can reach them in evaluations.
    But instead of Pnt1[1] and Pnt1[2], could I have Pnt1[L] and Pnt1[R]?
