3.3 Creating program blocks
Place the cursor on the program header block, or any other program block
after which you want to insert a new program block. Select the technology
you want to apply ("Drilling", "Turning", "Contour turning", "Milling" or
"Straight Circle"). For example select "Milling" -> "Pocket" -> "Rectangular
pocket" to open the corresponding parameter window for this technology
(alike the picture below).
Enter the appropriate parameter values and confirm with pressing the VSK
8 "Accept" or abort with pressing the VSK 7 "Cancel". You switch back to
the work plan view in the editor window.
The new program block is inserted automatically into the work plan.
The "cursor-to-the-right" key opens the parameter window at any time, to
change the input parameters you have edited before.
If necessary extend the program by inserting more machining steps.
