Subroutine issues

pab39
Hi,

First time i use subroutines.
I have one part to measure in different positions so i've made 2 programs with 2 different CAD orientation.
Now i've made a third programm to recall both programs but:

- CAD doesn't show up in the main program, i have to remember where i have to probe...
- in the 2 programs i have operator comments with pictures showing the jigs to use --> the pictures doesn't appear in the main program.
- it is not possible to run only one program at a time, i have to suppress the subroutine lines to make it work, and i can't mark/unmark these lines.

Do you have some solutions for these 3 points ?

Thanks.
  • if you're writing one program with multiple cad orientations you want to sue viewsets.

    Procedure is-->

    1) import model_1. write program
    2) import model_2. say YES treat as an assembly. go into cad assembly tree, uncheck (hide) model_1 and write your program for model_2.
    3) repeat step 2 for model_3.
    4) once your program(s) are all written into the one measurement routine, go to the very top of your routine, only show model_1 and CREATE a VIEWSET. next only show model_2 and CREATE a VIEWSET. next only show model_3 and CREATE a VIEWSET.
    5) at the top of the code for program 1 RECALL VIEWSET for model_1. at the top of the code for program 2 RECALL VIEWSET for model_2. at the top of the code for program 3 RECALL VIEWSET for model_3.
  • Hm ok, but the 2 programs are already written.
    Can i just open the first program, import again the model, copy/past the data of the second prog, then do the viewset stuff ?
    because when i import the second model, i have to transform it to have the right orientation, but even when unckecking the first model, both models are moving.

    Edit: i only have the choice to merge or not the model, no choice to treat as assembly.

    I didn't know you were an expert on this stuff!

    My bad just do whatever you want thenSlight smile
  • I've never used viewsets, and not easy to find all what you talk about in a french language software Rolling eyes
    Anyway OK i've created the 2 viewsets in the assembly menu and found the way to rotate only the selected model, now searching how to recall viewsets...
  • Insert/Report Command/Create Viewset
    Insert/Report Command/Recall Viewset

    speaks French maybe he can hop on & help you with anything that may be getting lost in translation

    How do you do it so that you are only rotating the selected model? I transformed a model and clicked the "keep original" box, but even after I hide the original model in the CAD assemblies, the original model still gets rotated when I try to rotate the second model.

    I use 'Assembly' it's the cube with the puzzle piece on 'CAD SETUP' ribbon. You can select which model you want to work with to translate when you have multiple.
  • Yes, I found the CAD Assembly button, but it just won't work for me. Whenever I hide one and transform another, the original is still transformed. Is there any way to lock a CAD assembly so that it doesn't get transformed, but you can still transform others?
  • in reply to dcoss
    It's not a question of which is visible.

    In the CAD assembly window, right click on the one you want to transform and select 'Transform,' to change just that part of the assembly.
