Can I loop this?

Hi guys!

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

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!

I did something similar a few years ago where I had 30 parts all equally spaced in 6 rows of 5. I started with the 1st part and it would offset after each run to the next part with a loop to move me up the rows. It worked very well but I was only checking a few simple features. I would try both ways and see which works the best.

Not sure about changing the [1], [2], to a [L], [R]. I think that is tied to the loop counter and only does sequential numbers.

Ok thanks! I'll definitely try it both ways, and if it works I'll have plenty more parts to implement this on.
