Changing program settings
Function
All parameters defined in the program header, with the exception of the dimension unit, can
be changed at any location in the program.
The settings in the program header are modal, i.e. they remain active until they are changed.
For the simulation and the simultaneous recording use a blank. A useful simulation can only
be achieved with a blank that is as close as possible to the real blank.
For the blank of the workpiece, define the shape (cuboid, tube, cylinder, polygon or centered
cuboid) and your dimensions.
The blank entry always refers to the work offset currently effective at the position in the program.
