Copying/pasting/deleting program blocks

In the editor, you edit both basic G code as well as program steps such as cycles, blocks and
subprogram calls.
Inserting program blocks
The editor responds depending on what type of program block you insert.
• If you insert a G code, then the program block is directly inserted where the write mark is
located.
• If you insert a program step, then the program block is always inserted at the next block,
independent of the position of the write mark within the actual line. This is necessary as a
cycle call always requires its own line.
This behavior is in all applications, irrespective of whether the program step is inserted with
a screen form using "Accept" or "Insert" is used as editor function.
Note
Cutout program step and reinsert
• If you cut out a program step at a specific location and you then directly reinsert it again,
• Press the shortcut (key combination) <CTRL> + <Z> to undo what you have cut out.
