Subroutine call
If certain steps in the machining of a workpiece have to be executed
more than once, it is only necessary to program these steps once.
ShopMill offers a function for repeating program blocks.
You must mark the program blocks that you want to repeat with a start
and end marker. You can then call these program blocks up to 9999
times again within a program. The markers must be unique, i.e. they
must have different names.
You can also set markers and repeats after creating the program, but
not within chained program blocks.
