Michael,

you can do it as a subroutine. They are very handy if you want to do multiple parts.subroutines+1.JPG

As you can see from the above picture it allows you to select the sequences you want or you can leave some out.

this is where it get really interesting. At the top you can choose to do individual or grouped sequences.(itink you want grouped)then you can choose the cl output style (i think you want multax). Then you can choose the pattern type translate or rotate as well as the number of instances and the translation values.

works really well ! play with it to see what you can do.
