Using a loop with differents allignments

Hello everyone!

So I want to write a program for fixture with multiple parts which are the same (3 in total) using loops.
Our customer have parts with their own coordinate system (its a assembly of 9 differents parts).

The problem that I have is:
Every part on a fixture must have their own coordinate system - meaning there should be an offset between them.

Is there a way (probably is) to use a loop with offsetting the coordinate systems which each part.

Thanks.

Save the manual alignments externally and recall them in the program while in the loop with assignments.

I'm not so familiar with assignmets combined with looping. Can you give me an example?

Thanks

$$ no,
prepare and save your manual alignments in seperate programs named align1, align2 etc...


Assign/v1=1
v1 =loop/start,id=yes,number=3,start=1,skip=,
offset:xaxis=0,yaxis=0,zaxis=0,angle=0
assign/alignx="align" +v1 +".aln"
recall/alignment,external,alignx
f1 =generic/point,dependent,cartesian,$
nom/xyz,<0,0,0>,$
meas/xyz,<0,0,0>,$
nom/ijk,<0,0,1>,$
meas/ijk,<0,0,1>
dim loc1= location of point f1 units=mm ,$
graph=off text=off mult=10.00 output=both half angle=no
ax nominal +tol -tol meas dev outtol
x 0.0000 0.0500 -0.0500 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 ----#----
y 0.0000 0.0500 -0.0500 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 ----#----
z 0.0000 0.0500 -0.0500 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 ----#----
end of dimension loc1
loop/end

Thanks for an example.

Going to test it.
