Program Edit buttons
When editing a program, the following buttons are available:
Button Function
Preview opens the preview window showing the
tool paths in the program. Also activates Side Bar
viewing buttons for optional viewing formats.
Help activates the Edit Help screen. Refer to
"Activating Edit Help" on page 370.
Insert activates Insert Mode. Use to insert typed
characters at the cursor position without overwriting
the existing text.
Delete Block deletes a single block located at the
cursor.
Find/Replace will search and replace a specified
code with another specified code.
ReEdit opens the Edit Help form to assist with
modifying the block where the cursor is currently
located. If re-edit is not allowed, a message will be
displayed in the message bar.
If ReEdit is used on blocks with multiple commands
separated by a semi-colon, the Edit Help form for the
first command will be loaded. After saving the form,
the rest of the commands will automatically be
placed at the end of the block as it was before the
ReEdit.
This also applies for comments at the end of a line.
The comment will be placed at the end when the
Help Form is closed.
Edit Features opens a new bottom menu bar with
additional task options for editing the program. This
menu is described in the following table.
Exit will exit from the Edit Help screen, and saves
any changes made.
