Repeating positions

Function
If you want to approach positions that you have already programmed again, you can do this
quickly with the function "Repeat position".
You must specify the number of the position pattern. The cycle automatically assigns this
number (for ShopMill). You will find this position pattern number in the work plan (program
view) or G-code program after the block number.
