Transferring cycles to the machining plan

10-150
You can transfer all user cycles that you have inserted in the operating area
program (including measuring cycles) to the machining plan and edit them
there. However, the cycles will not be displayed as programming graphics.
Use the "operator interface extension" software to define the cycle. Note that the
cycle must contain the function Generate Code (GC) and an OUTPUT method
so that NC code is generated and sent to NCK for processing.
If you call up and take over the cycle on the ShopMill operator interface, the
cycle will automatically appear in the machining plan. The screen form name of
the cycle will appear in the machining plan as plain text.
