Parts of programs can be copied from one program to another with the block copy feature. This is done by
highlighting the section of code that is to be copied using the F1 and F2 keys. Once a section of code is
highlighted, you then change to another program by selecting an existing program or creating a new one.
Cursor to the location where the previously defined block is to be inserted and press the INSERT or WRITE
key. A copy of the defined block will be inserted into the current program and the copied code segment be-
comes the currently-defined block. Press the UNDO key to exit the BLOCK COPY mode.
Blocks of code can be copied into an MDI program, but blocks of code cannot be copied from an MDI program
into another program. You can always rename the MDI program and then copy its text to any other program in
the manner described above.
Copy Selection To Clipboard
All selected text will be copied from the current program to a new program called the clipboard. Any previous
contents of the clipboard are deleted. The program number (8998) for the clipboard is specified by Parameter
226 and can be altered, if necessary.
Paste From Clipboard
The contents of the clipboard are copied into the current program at the line following the current cursor position.
THE SEARCH MENU
Find Text
This menu item will search for one or more G-Code items in the current program. The search can be performed
in either the forward or backward direction from the current cursor location. If the item is found, the cursor will
be positioned on it.
Find Again
This menu item will search the current program for the last block of code that was searched for. It will begin to
search at the current cursor location, in the direction that was specified in the previous search. This function
will search both selected and un-selected blocks.
Find And Replace Text
This menu item will search the current program for one or more occurrences of a specified G-Code item and
optionally replace each (or all) with another G-Code item. The search can be performed in either the forward or
backward direction from the current cursor location. As each G-Code item is found, the cursor will be posi-
tioned on it, and a prompt will ask whether to replace the item, continue the search, both, or neither.
THE MODIFY MENU
Remove All Line Numbers
This menu item will automatically remove all un-referenced N-Codes from the edited program. If a block is
selected, only the G-Code blocks contained within it will be affected.
Renumber All Lines
This menu item will either renumber all selected blocks in the program or, if a block is selected, renumber only
those G-Code blocks contained in that block.
Renumber By Tool
Searches selected text, or the entire program, for T codes and renumbers program blocks grouped by T code.
R & - Signs
This menu item will reverse the signs of all numeric values associated with one or more address codes in the
program. If a certain block is selected, only the address codes in the selected block will be affected.
