7.1 Creating a G-code program

The G code editor is opened.

-and-
Press the "To program" softkey.
The selected tool is loaded into the G code editor.
Text such as the following is displayed at the current cursor position in
the G code editor: T="SCHRUPPER80"
In contrast to step-chain programming, the settings stored in tool
management do not automatically become active when the tool is
called up.
This means that, in addition to the tool, you must also program the tool
change (M6), the direction of spindle rotation (M3/M4), the spindle
speed (S...) and the coolant (M7/M8).
Example:
...
T="SCHRUPPER80"
M6
M7 M3 S1=2000
...
Using the softkey, select whether you would like support for
programming contours, drilling, milling, or turning cycles.
Select the cycle you want via the softkey.
Enter the parameters.
Press the "OK" softkey.
The cycle is transferred to the editor as G code.
Position the cursor on a cycle in the G code editor if you want to
display the associated parameter screen form again.
Select the "Recompile" softkey.
The parameter screen for the selected cycle appears.
