ADVANCED EDITOR

June 1999

DELETE SELECTED TEXT

This item deletes any selected text. If no text is selected, the currently highlighted item is deleted. This

function works the same as in the old editor, except that if the cursor is in the middle of a comment, it will

delete the entire comment instead of just the highlighted character. The UNDO key will restore any deleted

comment. The DELETE key deletes individual characters from comments and is the hot key for this menu

item.

CUT SELECTION TO CLIPBOARD

All selected text will be moved from the current program to a new program called the clipboard. Any previous

contents of the clipboard are deleted. The program number for the clipboard is specified by Parameter 226 and

can be altered, if necessary.

COPY SELECTION TO CLIPBOARD

All selected text will be copied from the current program to a new program called the clipboard. Any previous

contents of the clipboard are deleted. The program number for the clipboard is specified by Parameter 226 and

can be altered, if necessary.

PASTE FROM CLIPBOARD

The contents of the clipboard are copied into the current program at the line following the current cursor

position.

THE SEARCH MENU

Figure 11-10. The SEARCH menu items.

FIND TEXT

This menu item will search for one or more G-Code items in the current program. The search can be performed

in either the forward or backward direction from the current cursor location. If the item is found, the cursor will

be positioned on it. The following prompts will appear when this item is selected:

ENTER TEXT/ITEM TO SEARCH FOR: Type in one or more G-code items, a single address code character, or

a comment to be searched for. Press the WRITE key to enter this input. If a full G-Code item is specified,

only items that exactly match will be found. If a single address code character is specified, the next matching

address code will be found, regardless of the numeric value associated with it. And finally, if a comment is

specified, the next comments that contain the text specified will be found.

FORWARD OR BACKWARD (F/B) ? Type in either F or B; all other input will be ignored. Entering F will

commence the search for the specified G-code item in the forward direction. Entering B will commence the

search in the backward direction; i.e. it will find the previous occurrence of the specified G-Code.
