looping

3.5mr2

Hi to all. I have a radial surface to inspect on a multi vane casting. I want to use the loop so that I do not have to rotate everytime and take the same point. I thought I had it working if I did not transfer inside the loop. Then I went to full report mode and it only had the last point taken. I really need the transfer in the loop. I have attached the code I have in my program.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

This is a good opportunity for paste with pattern. Post again if you need to know how to use it.

I used paste with pattern and I have to go back and change all my numbers. I was also trying to shorten my program by using the loop. I saw it work at advance training, but they were using 3.7 and I still have 3.5mr2. This may be the issue.

PASTE

Program length shouldn't be a concern, accuracy is what counts. I like paste with pattern because it give you the ability to tweak any or all of the point with ease.
