2 different parts in the same program

Ecri14
Been requested to merge two separate programs into one. Been searching around the forums this morning and haven't been able to find anything about this.
I have 2 programs I wrote a few months ago for separate parts and have been asked if I'd be able to merge those programs together so our operators can start the program and walk away for both parts to be checked in one shot.
The only idea I currently have is to add both cad models and essentially write 2 programs in 1. Not sure if I can run an If/Then for it or not (I haven't had to use any If/Then commands in the past)

I have just over a year of experience of programming CMMs and have taken CMM 101 and 201.
Running PC-DMIS 2022.1

  • I've never had to do that but I think you are on the right path. Make sure your fixturing is solid. Import both models, program 1 part and then the other. What about reporting? Are you doing to need 2 individual reports or 1 report for both parts? Are both parts going to be on the CMM every time? Like the program and check both parts but sometimes they just put 1 part on...

    Luckily, they machine both parts together, so they run them on the CMM together as well. 1 report will work as long as they can differentiate between the dimensioning (That will come down to my labeling, I'm guessing)
