8.1.13 Repeating positions
Function
If you want to approach positions that you have already programmed again, you can do this
quickly with the function "Repeat position".
You must specify the number of the position pattern. This cycle automatically assigns this
number. You will find this position pattern number in the work plan (program view) after the
block number.
Procedure
1. The part program or ShopMill program to be processed has been
created and you are in the editor.
2. Press the "Drilling", and "Repeat position" softkeys.
The "Repeat positions" input window opens.
3. After you have entered the label or the position pattern number, e.g. 1,
press the "Accept" softkey. The position pattern you have selected is
then approached again.
