8. EDITING MACHINING PROGRAMS
OPERATION
109
NOTE
1 A process can be moved to the other tool post only in an
automatically scheduled program. For automatic
scheduling, see Section 8.7, “Automatic Scheduling.”
2 The following processes cannot be moved to the other tool
post:
D Drilling processes such as center drilling and tapping
D All C–axis/Y–axis machining processes
D Special processes such as single action, calling of
sub–programs, auxiliary processes, and TRANS
processes
3 If a process of bar machining or pattern repeating is moved
to the other tool post, the contour of the process is
automatically adjusted to the coordinate system used for
the destination tool post.
If the contour data has been entered with automatic
calculation of intersections, the figure data entered for the
automatic calculation is all deleted and the end point data
of each figure is automatically entered instead.
Chamfering and rounding are replaced with a slanted line
and arc respectively.
Even if the moved process is returned to the original tool
post, the replaced figure data will not return to the original
data.
The contents of a machining program can be copied in units of processes.
On the process editing screen, move the cursor to the process to be copied
and press the [COPY] soft key. The following operation guidance is
displayed.
CANCEL EXEC
SPECIFY DESTINATION ³ SOFT KEY [EXEC]
Move the cursor to the process to be followed by the copied process and
press the [COPY] soft key. The specified process is copied.
If the [CANCEL] soft key is pressed on the operation guidance shown
above, the copy operation is canceled and the system returns to the
original state.
NOTE
The initial setting process cannot be copied. An attempt to
copy it will be ignored.
