Jeff,
If you
are using different work planes for the two parts it would be posible to
automatically add the block skip characters in the tmp file using the @TPINDX
section and checking the #TINDX value or if #WKPLN changes then simply
turn on or off block skip.
This
would not be hard to do but it would not work if you use multiple work
planes for each part..

Fred,
I normally run two parts at a time in our tombstones, one on top and one
on bottom.
During setup the operators turn on the block skip feature to ignore the
bottom part and only
run the setup piece. So in the model I would have a series of holes with
say 3 differant tools as follows.
I would have to insert the block skip manually after the set of all the
top holes. It's not that big of a deal
except alot of our jobs use over 60 tools so now I have to manually
insert alot of block skips. I was curious
if I could group the holes in the top part and then run a macro to
insert the #BLKDEL=1 after each set of
top holes. I hope I explained this better for everyone to understand. I
tried making my own but kept getting errors.
