Looped Analysis Commands use same CAD Alignment

(This item pertains to the check boxes on the General tab of the Setup Options dialog box. You can open it through the F5 key or through the Edit | Preferences | Setup menu option.)

 

You may have one or more ANALYSISVIEW commands inside of a LOOP/START and LOOP/END command block. This check box determines if those ANALYSISVIEW commands all use the same alignment.

If marked, the commands use the same alignment.

If cleared, the commands may use different alignments based on your measurement routine.

Suppose your measurement routine has this sequence of commands:

A1 ALIGNMENT

CIR1

CIR2

CIR3

DIM1

DIM2

DIM3

LOOP/START 1 to 3

A2 ALIGNMENT

ANALYSISVIEW, DIM1, DIM2, DIM3

LOOP/END

Suppose the loop runs three times. Also, suppose that with each loop, A2 changes the origin to reference a different circle. So that:

If you mark this check box, the ANALYSISVIEW command uses the alignment that points to CIR1. It does this for all three iterations.

If you clear this check box, the ANALYSISVIEW command uses the three different alignments.
