Creating a program block

In order to structure programs in order to achieve a higher degree of transparency when
preparing for the synchronized view, you have the possibility of combining several blocks (G
code and/or ShopTurn machining steps) to form program blocks.
Structuring programs
● Before generating the actual program, generate a program frame using empty blocks.
● By forming blocks, structure existing G code or ShopTurn programs.
