Intercon Main Screen (continued from pg 10-1)
F2 – Modify
Choosing F2 - Modify from the Intercon main menu will allow the currently highlighted operation
to be modified. When an operation is modified, the fields for that operation are displayed on the right hand side.
When modifying an operation, the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys can be used to move up and down through the
Intercon operations listed on the left hand side of the screen.
F3 – Insert
Choosing F3 - Insert will insert a new operation before the operation that is currently highlighted,
unless the highlighted operation is the first operation in which case the inserted operation will be inserted as the second
operation. For more information on the operations see Insert Operations later in this chapter.
F4 – Cut
Choosing F4 - Cut will cut (remove) the highlighted operation from the program. The operation that is
cut is placed onto the clipboard stack.
F5 – Paste
Choosing F5-Paste will paste the last operation that was cut or copied into the clipboard stack into the
current program line that is before the highlighted operation. The number of operations that are currently in the
clipboard stack are indicated by the number in the Paste key. As long as you stay in Intercon, the clipboard stack will
remain intact. You may cut and copy operations from one program and paste them into a different program.
F6 – Copy
Choosing F6 - Copy will copy the highlighted operation into the clipboard stack and advance the
cursor to the next operation.
F7 – Copy Menus…
Choosing F7 - Copy Menus… will display these additional options:
F1 - Copy Menu Allows a range of operations to be copied. Specify the Start Block, End Block, and
Destination in the prompts that appear in the Copy Menu. The range of operations is copied into a location that
precedes the destination block.
F2 - Move Menu Allows a range of operations to be moved. Specify the Start Block, End Block, and
Destination in the prompts that appear in the Move Menu. The range of operations is moved into a location that
precedes the destination block.

F8 – Graph
Choosing F8 - Graph will graph the current program. The graph is the same as what would be
produced if the current program were translated into G-codes and graphed from the CNC software. Canned drilling
cycles are shown in gray. Rapid traverse movements are shown in red. Feedrate movements are shown in yellow and
cutter compensated moves are in gray.
