Place the cursor on the desired program block in the machining
plan.
Press the "Cursor Right" key.
The parameter screen for the selected program block appears.
Make the desired changes.
Press the "Accept" softkey or the "Cursor left" key.
The changes are accepted in the program.
You use the program editor when you want to change the sequence
of program blocks within a program, delete program blocks or copy
program blocks from one program to another.
The following functions are available in the program editor:
•
Select
You can select several program blocks simultaneously, for
example, for cutting and pasting them subsequently.
•
Copy/paste
You can copy and paste program blocks within a program or
between different programs.
•
Cut
You can cut and therefore delete program blocks. However, the
program blocks remain in the buffer, so you can still paste them in
somewhere else.
•
Search
You can search for a specific block number or any character
string in a program.
•
Rename
You can rename a contour in the program editor, e.g. if you have
copied the contour.
•
Number
If you insert a new or copied program block between two existing
program blocks, ShopMill automatically generates a new block
number. This block number may be higher than the one in the
following block. You can use the "Numbering" function to number
the program blocks in ascending order.
