Compatibility for cycle support

The cycle support is generally upwards compatible. This means that cycle calls in NC
programs can always be recompiled with a higher software version, changed and then run
again.
When transferring NC programs to a machine with a lower software version, it cannot be
guaranteed, however, that the program will be able to be changed by recompiling cycle calls.

- OR -
Press the <SHIFT + INSERT> key combination.
This starts the edit mode for this cycle call and you can edit it like a
normal NC block. This means that it is possible to generate an empty
block before the cycle is called. For instance, to insert something before
a cycle that is located at the beginning of the program.
Note: In edit mode, the cycle call can be changed in such a way that it
can no longer be recompiled in the parameter screen.
You exit the edit mode by pressing the <SHIFT + INSERT> key
combination.
- OR -
You are in the edit mode and press the <INPUT> key.
