Application Area:

Switching to editing mode provides the user with an extensive toolkit for automated editing of the NC program's text. If multiple NC Code Editor Panels are open, changes will apply to the active panel where the cursor is located.

Execution of all functions is managed by specific commands:

Reset. Resets the parameter value to the default setting.

Apply. Applies the function with the entered parameters to the active NC Code Editor Panel. In the Remove Number group, the Apply command is replaced by Remove.

Block numbers:

Offers a suite of features for automating the addition, modification, and removal of block numbers.

Add Number.

Allows inserting block numbers into the NC program with various formatting options.

Leading Zeros. If the flag is set, zeros are prefixed to the significant digits of the number. The dialog box indicates the number of digits assigned for the block number, not counting tolerance.

Trailing Zeros. When the flag is active, non-significant zeros within the tolerance are included.

Start. Specifies the initial block number in the NC program.

Increment. Defines the increment for the next block number.
