Copying a table
Importing lines to a table
If you are copying a table into an existing table, you can overwrite
individual lines with the REPLACE FIELDS soft key. Prerequisites:
 The target table must already exist
 The file to be copied must only contain the lines you want to replace
 Both tables must have the same file extension
Example
With a tool presetter you have measured the length and radius of ten
new tools. The tool presetter then generates the TOOL_Import.T tool
table with 10 lines (for the 10 tools).
 Copy this table from the external data medium to any directory
 Copy the externally created table to the existing table using the TNC
file management. The TNC asks if you wish to overwrite the existing
TOOL.T tool table:
 If you press the YES soft key, the TNC will completely overwrite the
current TOOL.T tool table. After the copying process the new
TOOL.T table consists of 10 lines.
 Or press the REPLACE FIELDS soft key for the TNC to overwrite the
10 lines in the TOOL.T file. The data of the other lines is not
changed.
Extracting lines from a table
You can select one or more lines in a table and save them in a separate
table.
 Open the table from which you want to copy lines
 Use the arrow keys to select the first line to be copied
 Press the MORE FUNCTIONS soft key
 Press the TAG soft key
 Select additional lines, if required
 Press the SAVE AS soft key
 Enter a name for the table in which the selected lines are to be
saved
Copying a directory
 Move the highlight in the right window onto the directory you want
to copy
 Press the COPY soft key: the TNC opens the window for selecting
the target directory
 Select the target directory and confirm with ENT or the OK soft key:
The TNC copies the selected directory and all its subdirectories to
the selected target directory
The REPLACE FIELDS function is used to overwrite lines in
the target table. To avoid losing data, create a backup copy
of the original table.
