Merging Programs
The
MERGE
softkey allows you to merge two
MILLPWR
programs together. With this function, all
of the program steps within the program you selected will be copied into your current (or open)
program. Keep in mind that you can edit any of the new steps if you need to (refer to Step
Functions).
To merge programs:
•
From the PGM screen, highlight the step in your current (open)
program where you want the new steps to be inserted.
•
Press the
PROGRAM FUNCTIONS
softkey.
•
Press the
MERGE
softkey. The last directory that was opened will
appear. You can change directories if you need to (refer to Selecting a
Directory).
•
Using the arrow keys, highlight the program that you want to
merge into your program.
•
Press the
MERGE
softkey again. The steps from the program you
highlighted should now appear in your program.
Note:
The merge function does not work with G-code files or DXF files.
It's always a
good idea to
save your work
before merging
programs so
that you can
easily recover
your original
program if you
need to.
