What's the easiest way to have a flip in a program? The only way I've been able to do it was to have 2 separate programs and then merge them together. I have found its hard to edit the program offline when they are merged together.
I have everything combined into one program now. In order to get the height I need, I need to run the entire program. I’ll check the alignments tmr. It’s a height from a feature before the flip and after.
The problem I run in to is when I go to dimension a height from a feature before the flip to a feature after the flip and I can’t get it to come out right. I’ve seen where people recall startup before flipping the part and dimensioning. Maybe I am missing something I will have to look closer into it tmr
STEWY If it was me I would "save as" the program and rewrite it with a alignment. Can you verify with a heigh gage? I use read point on simple parts. You might have better luck with a full alignment. Hope this helps.
I got the same results so I'm stumped now. All I need is a couple heights from one side to the other and i cant get at them without flipping the part. Example is the 16.5 thickness.
I was able to run the program fine and flip the part and it measured everything. I'm just not getting the numbers I want for my dimensions from one side of the part to the other.
You can't get a probe in there and hit z-? or do you have a tp20 or other probe system that inhibits hitting z-? that would be easiest solution.
otherwise, you should read up on "equate alignment" in the help file, like has already been mentioned.
