Creating a new workpiece

You can set up various types of files such as main programs, initialization files, tool offsets,

etc. in a workpiece.

Workpiece directories

828D provides you with the option of nesting tool directories. You must note that the length

of the call line is restricted. You will be informed if the maximum number of characters is

reached when entering the workpiece name.

Under a workpiece directory (WPD), 840D sl does not allow any additional workpiece

directories to be created in the NC memory. You can create a free directory structure on the

local drive, USB and network drives; this means that you have the option to create other

workpieces or any number of directories in a workpiece. If you copy this data to the NC

memory then the length of the call line is checked.

Select the "Program manager" operating area.

Select your chosen storage medium, i.e. a local or USB drive.

If you want to create a new directory in the local network, place the

cursor on the topmost folder and press the "New" and "Directory"

The "New Directory" window opens.

Enter the desired directory name and press the "OK" softkey.
