Where i work there is a program its used as macro in other programs. 

This is used to ride machine Z+ and X- looks like its max. There is some info in main programs about Z+999  and X-999. 

I cannot solve this mystery within little time have to work on its nice machines 🤪 would like to help me search what is done here 🙃

 

There is no:

elements to measure 

characteristics

elements in alignment 

safety cube 

 

The program is not runing normally because its says there is no safety cube.

What is your question here?

Know how it's done or you have an problem?

In main program you can call another program as macro, so it can ignore some settings.

The positioning may be done by some PCM code in the pre or post settings of the measurement plan (if you have that option).

First of all: Do you even have the PCM option? Because if you don't, you would probably get a "PCM option not available" error when trying to execute PCM code. So if you don't have PCM and don't get an error, it's probably not done that way.

To find hidden PCM code either try the menu item "show elements with parameters and formulas" (or whatever it's called in English). It's somewhere in the "View" or "Resources" menu and marks all elements containing PCM code with either a yellow "P" and/or "F". Or you can use Plan -> Advanced -> Search -> PCM Text. This will also display code in the pre/post settings of the whole plan.
