Hi guys, first post here, but I've been scouring the forums for hours trying to find the solution to this one 
I've got a set of features that are common across a slew of different parts, so I've made a subroutine that measures those features and reports the results.
The subroutine has the origin set to the centre of a face, a cylinder, and a line between two circles. The idea is that I get those features on the part, send them into the subroutine, the subroutine aligns the origin to those features and happily measures all the features on the part. This seems very clear and straightforward to me, and when I do the alignment and create a "TESTFACE" generic feature it ends up exactly where I expect it to be.
...But any non-constructed feature doesn't move with the alignment, it stays relative to the origin of the original part. So the two faces "AFACE" and "TESTFACE" are in exactly the same place in the subroutine, and end up in completely different places during execution.
If I force the theoretical of AFACE back to 0,0,0,0,0,1 with ASSIGN/AFACE.TXYZ=MPOINT(0,0,0) the theoretical moves, but the targets still stay in the wrong space. Also this seems like a workaround, but there should be a sensible way to do this.
If I force the targets to stay the same using TARG/<0+0,0+0,0+0>,<0+0,0+0,1+0> then when I take a measurement for the cylinder in the middle the diameter is 800 times what it should be.
I think it's something to do with CAD and PART alignment messiness, and when I tick the "Ignore CAD to Part" in the main program it seems to fix the issue, but I'm concerned about unintended side effects because we always use CAD=PART (even though I know it may not be best practice). I'd like it to ignore just for the subroutine but ticking it there doesn't seem to make a difference.
Please, wise people of the internet, tell me I'm stupid and that I should be doing this completely differently.
Cheers,
Caleb
