Example
For rotation round the z-axis in clockwise direction with x-axis is horizontal and y-axis
is vertical, put in a negative angle. It is not possible to rotate a CNC program including
variables or using the A, B or C axis.
The sentence numbers are assigned automatically.

12.8.11

Reverse direction
This command being part of menu item 'CNC’ can be used to reverse the programmed
path. If the CNC program has got the following path elements, the reverse direction
command is not possible:
• jumps (G20, G36 or G37).
• variables.
• step suppression.
• G56 or G75.
• axis A, B or C.
If the CNC program contains arcs defined with aperture angle (parameter K in 2D
elements or parameter T in 3D) the command cannot generate an exact reverse arc.
G41/G42 blocks will be exchanged in the reversed program. So G41 becomes G42 and
G42 becomes G41 and the direction of the correction is exchanged.
The sentence numbers are assigned automatically.

12.8.12

Renumber CNC program

Button:

This command being part of menu item CNC’ is used to trim the sentence numbers of
the path program in the text editor (N<number>) automatically. So every sentence
with no sentence number gets one starting with 0 and is incremented by ten. Jump
targets (L-codes in G20 sentences) are corrected automatically,too. This command is
not available in table view.

12.8.13

Load program from ASCII file
This command being part of menu item 'CNC’ is used to load a CNC program which is
stored before in ASCII format. The standard dialog for opening a file provides a list of
files for selecting the desired one. Possible endings are ".txt" or ".cnc", default is
".gcode". With clicking button Open and acknowledging this the ASCII file is loaded
into the CNC editor with replacing the latest CNC program.
