8.4.6 Customizing the editor.
The "Customize" softkey is used for personalizing (customizing) the behavior, properties and
appearance of the program editor.
Customizing the general options of the editor.
Customize the template for new programs.
This option activates the use of the template for new programs. The "Edit template" button
opens a template at the editor to edit it. Only one template may be in the editor, called
"Template.nc" and must be saved in the following folder.
C:\Cnc8070\Users\Session\Templates
The "Save always" option of the editor sets how the template is saved, automatically or from
the softkey menu.
Set the parameters for editing in TEACH-IN.
This option sets the behavior of each axis in TEACH-IN mode. Each axis may have one of
the following behaviors. After defining the behavior of the axes, press [ENTER] to accept the
selection or [ESC] to reject it.
Set the auto-numbering of new blocks.
This option activates the auto-numbering of blocks and may be used to set the number of
the first block and the sequencing step for two consecutive blocks. While auto-numbering
is active, the CNC inserts the block number automatically every time a new block is
generated.
Option. Meaning.
Save always. Activating the automatic saving of the program. When this option is
active, the CNC will automatically save the program every time the
cursor changes blocks. In large programs (more than 200 kB), the
CNC saves the program when the user has not modified the program
for about 5 seconds.
If this option is not active, the program is saved from the softkey
menu.
Line adjust. Adjust the long blocks to the size of the window dividing the block into
several lines. In large programs (more than 200 kB), the CNC does
not adjust the lines.
Show the line number. Show the line numbers at the editor.
Drop menus. Organize the horizontal softkey menu in drop menus.
Hide cycles and profiles. Hide the contents of the canned cycles and of the profiles. Being this
option active, the editor only shows the name of the canned cycle
or profile; otherwise, it shows the whole contents. In large programs
(more than 200 kB), the editor does not hide the canned cycles or
the profiles.
Having this option active, when the cursor moves over a hidden
element, it expands automatically; when the cursor moves out of the
element, it shrinks again.

program in the 8055 CNC language" on page 137.
Programming assistance. Activate the contextual assistance for programming commands in
high level language. Contextual assistance is not available when
using the 8055 CNC language. See "8.3.2 Contextual programming
assistance." on page 145.
