Creating a program block

In order to structure programs to achieve a higher degree of transparency, you have the

option of combining several blocks (G-code and/or ShopTurn machining steps) to form

program blocks.

Program blocks can be created in two stages. This means that you can form additional

blocks within a block (nesting).

You then have the option of opening and closing these blocks depending on your

requirement.
