F1 - New Create a new program by filling in the appropriate program name
(we recommend c_rod) and your name. Press Enter or F10 -
Accept to accept the new name. Enter “Intercon Tutorial #2” for
the description. Press F10 - Accept to accept.
F4 - Tool Describe the tool below. The position values specify where to do
the tool change. The Yes in the 'Actual Tool Change' field turns
off the spindle and coolant upon reaching this spot. Use a 0.1875
inch drill. The height and diameter are updated based on the
offsets. (The longest tool should have a 0.0000 height offset). If
this tool does not have the desired spindle (CW) and coolant
(Flood) settings, you should also select these values to match
your particular machine setup.

Notice for this particular screen, the Tool height shows '0.0000', since it has the same tool height as the Reference tool.
However, your screen may differ since Intercon cannot change the Reference tool height in the Tool Library. This will
change when you run this program. Refer to the Measuring Tool Heights in Chapter 5 for more details.
F10 - Accept Keep selected values.
F5 - Cycles Access the list of available Canned Cycles.
F1 - Drill Select drilling cycles
F2 - Drill BHC Select a bolt hole circle operation.
The clearance height is the Z height from which the downward rapid traverse begins before each hole. It is also the Z
height to which the tool returns upon completion of drilling the hole.
The 'Rapid To' depth is the Z height to which the tool rapid traverses before drilling a hole.
