You have called the desired cycle via softkey in the program editor, entered the parameters
and confirmed with "Accept".
Select the desired cycle call and press t
he <Cursor right> key.
The associated input screen of the selected cycle call is opened.
Press the <SHIFT + INSERT> key combination.
This starts the edit mode for this cycle ca
ll and you can edit it like a
normal NC block. This means that it is possible to generate an empty
block before the cycle is called. For instance, to insert something before
a cycle that is located at the beginning of the program.
Note: In edit mode, the c
ycle call can be changed in such a way that it
can no longer be recompiled in the parameter screen.
You exit the edit mode by pressing the <SHIFT + INSERT> key comb
i-
OR -
You are in the edit mode and press the <INPUT> key.
A new line is created after the cursor posi
tion.

Compatibility for cycle support
The cycle support is generally upwards compatible. This means that cycle calls in NC
programs can always be recompiled with a higher software version, changed and then run
again.
When transferring NC programs to a machine with a lower software version, it cannot be
guaranteed, however, that the program will be able to be changed by recompiling cycle calls.
