Procedure
Note
● If you only want to renumber a section, before the function call, select the program blocks

are deleted from the program and/or from the selected range.
6.10.5

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.
