Unlike sequential control programming, the settings made in the tool
management do not become active automatically when the tool is
called.
This means that you must also program the tool change (M6), the
direction of spindle rotation (M3/M4), the spindle speed (S...), the
coolant (M7/M8) and any other tool-specific functions required.
Example:
...
T="MILL"
M6
M7 M3 S2000
...
Use the softkeys to select whether you want support for
programming contours, drilling or milling cycles.
Select the cycle you want via the softkey.
Enter the parameters.
Press the "OK" softkey.
The cycle is transferred to the editor as G code.
