Looping a piece of code (maybe a macro solution)

    Hi Everyone, I was just looking to further simplify my batch process working. so I mentioned before I use a coord reset to create a new part. But at the moment, I have to press start again to run the next one once the machine has moved to the origin of the next part (copy of the first part next to it).

    So I could just copy and paste the same code multiple times, which I have done before, but as there are a lot of pieces, I would like somehow to just loop the same code a number of times (to save time if I need to update the part tool paths etc). Is that possible? I haven't used macro's yet, but was wondering if that was the way to go and just call the same macro (with the original part code in it) multiple times?

    Any suggestions would be gratefully received :)
