Editing A Program

[#2#]

Everyone,

I have a program that I need to change slightly to be able to run a similar part. The biggest difference is diameter changes. Not to bad to deal with. The other difference is the location in one dimension (y) of some of the features. Now, I have changed on feature upon which I base an alignment to measure other features. I answered "No" to "do you want to update the nominals of affected features" or whatever it says.

So, I have a cylinder "master" that I align on and then measure different "slave" diameters associated with this cylinder. When I change the location of the "master" cylinder and answer "No" I expect the "slave" cylinders to still be at 0,0 relative to the "master" cylinder. They are not, they stay in the same place relative to the original alignment. I have done this before without troubles but it doesn't seem to work now. Is it because the "master" is an autofeature?

If I think I understand what you are doing, you can assign variables at the beginning of you program for the 2 different location and use the variable to drive there.

slave1 = label/
assign/slave1x = 1 (or whatever it is)
assign slave1y = 1

slave2 = label/
assign/slave2x = 2
assign slave2y = 2

and use goto labels to get around the program. This is what I do. It may not be the most efficient but it works for me.

Will you copy that section of that program and paste it in here.

Thanks for the assistance but I think I've got it. Not sure why it was doing what it was but it stopped and now everything is progressing as expected.

here is some code for what I was talking about. Hope this helps

SLAVE1 =LABEL/
ASSIGN/MODEL = "slave1"
ASSIGN/IN_ANG = 40
ASSIGN/EX_ANG = 40

COMMENT/DOC,
ASSIGN/IN1Y = 18
ASSIGN/EX1Y = 16

COMMENT/DOC,
ASSIGN/IN2Y = 17
ASSIGN/EX2Y = 15
GOTO/ENDTEST

SLAVE2 =LABEL/
ASSIGN/MODEL = "slave2"
ASSIGN/IN_ANG = 50
ASSIGN/EX_ANG = 50

COMMENT/DOC,
ASSIGN/IN1Y = 16
ASSIGN/EX1Y = 18

COMMENT/DOC,
ASSIGN/IN2Y = 15
ASSIGN/EX2Y = 17
ENDTEST =LABEL/
