4.5 Commands in the "Extras" menu
The Extras menu provides commands and options for working with and displaying in the
graphic editor. (You can of course also perform programming by entering the
corresponding instructions in the text editor.) Corresponding buttons also appear on the
tool bar. A tick appears in front of activated options in the 'Extras' menu and the
corresponding buttons on the tool bar look like they have been pressed.

Note!
It is entirely possible to select more than one of the Tool Radius Correction,
Round Path, Smooth Path and Avoid Loop options. In so doing, you can simulate
the effect of path preprocessing POUs connected in series. Only the 'Tool Radius
Correction' and 'Round Path'/'Smooth Path' path preprocessing options cannot
be activated at the same time.
If this option is activated, you can select a graphic element in the CNC editor by
clicking with the mouse. Once an element has been selected, it turns red and
the corresponding line is highlighted in the text editor. Click the end point of an
element and hold the mouse button down to move the element with the
mouse.
If this option is activated, clicking with the mouse within the editor pane will
insert a G01 line element. The new element will start behind the currently
selected (red) element. The mouse position defines the destination (end point)
of the line.
If this option is activated, clicking with the mouse within the editor pane will
insert a G02 circle element for clockwise motion. The new element will be
inserted behind the currently selected (red) element. The mouse position
defines the destination (end point). The radius of the circle is set to 100 by
default; if necessary, this can be modified in the text editor.
