Overwrite
The softkey toggles between insert and overwrite modes.
Mark block
When you press this softkey, the vertical softkey bar changes. The
area marked by the cursor is selected.
The selected block is copied to a buffer. It remains stored in the buffer
even if another part program
is selected.
The selected block is deleted.
You can cancel select mode with softkey "Mark block" or "Select".
A block generated with the support function is not automatically
selected.
A limit is applied to the block area which can be selected. When the
limit is reached the following warning appears in the dialog line:
"Buffer limit for selection reached".
Paste block
The softkey pastes the cut or copied block from the buffer into the text
in front of the cursor position.
Find/Go to...
The window "Find/Go to..." is opened.
You can select functions for positioning and searching via the vertical
softkeys:
The following search methods are available:
•
to the beginning of the part program (cursor on the first
character in the program),
•
the end of the part program (cursor on the last character in the
program) and
•
to position on a particular NC block with "Go to.."
•
or search for a particular character string with "Find".
