2.6.6 Editing part programs in the ASCII editor
Function
The ASCII editor provides you with the following functions:
- Switch between insert and overwrite mode
- Mark, copy, delete block
- Paste block
- Position cursor / find/replace text
- Save file
- Create contour (programming support)
- Configure cycle parameters (drilling, milling, turning)
- Start simulation
- Recompile (cycles, free contour programming)
- Renumber blocks

Additional information
A part program selected in the NC can generally only be edited when
the channel is in the reset state.
When a part program is selected and the relevant channel in the
"Channel Reset" state, the program can be fully edited.
Please note the following differences in the ASCII editor:
· You can edit a program that has been loaded to the NC or a
program stored on the hard disk. How programs are saved on the
hard disk is determined by settings.
· The end of block character is not displayed as "
L
F
"; instead it is
displayed as "¶".
Operating sequence
The following functions are fully enabled in the Program and Services
operating areas but only partially in the Machine operating area.
In the Machine operating area, the ASCII editor is called via the
program editor, in Services, by selecting a file in the file manager.
You have selected the file you wish to edit in the directory
and pressed the "Input" key,
the vertical softkey bar changes.
Your selected file is opened in the text editor.
