I've never tried this with pcdmis but it's pretty easy with calypso, voyager, and measuremind.
I have 9 parts fixtured in a 3 x 3 array. I inserted a loop command for Y 3 times. Just below that I inserted another loop command for 3 times in X. Then I measured the features for the first part and followed with an end loop command. Seemed like a logical thing to try to me. I ran it and it went trough all 9 parts just like I hoped it would.
Then I went back and added distance measurements for my feature within the loop and added statistical commands to dump the data into qc-calc all of which within the loop except the always save stats to file thing which I added right after the machine alignment stuff in the beginning.
I run the program again and it measures all 3 parts in Y and it moves to my move point to clear the fixture, dumps everything into qc-calc and stops.
Oh the move point I added afterwards also after the loop end command.
Did I approach this the right way anyone?
I'm fairly new with pcdmis in that it isn't all that infrequent that I find myself trying something for the first time.
Thanks for any help guys.
I think I'm ready for a beer.
