Are you talking about the conversational program or text program? You can run the text program from any block. Here is a sample progrm..
%
N10G90G0X0Y0Z200.
N20(TOOLPATH PSRCA-24)
N30(TOOL NAME :- DIA3.0 BALL)
N40 (TOOL DIA :- 3.00)
N50 (TIP RADIUS :- 0)
N60 (MAT'L THICKNESS:- .05)
N70(TOOLPATH TIME :- 1142)
N80X20.574Y-11.847S7000M3
N90Z-10.5M8
N100G1Z-11.F300
N110Y-11.846F1500
N120X20.593Y-11.828Z-10.985
N130X20.775Y-11.646Z-10.957
N140X20.855Y-11.566Z-11.
N150Y-11.565
N160X21.053Y-11.297
N170X21.052Y-11.298
N180X20.949Y-11.401Z-10.834
N190X20.851Y-11.499Z-10.745
N200X20.642Y-11.708Z-10.694
N210X20.454Y-11.896Z-10.78
N220X20.344Y-12.006Z-10.913
You can just scroll down to the block you want. Or you know Z value (how deep your program run). If you cut upto 20mm deep, then you can serch the block containing Z-20 or Z-19.5. You can serch it in edit mode by hitting MISC then FIND then put Z-20 then enter 2 times.
In above program the block numbers are in the increment of 10. So if you edit a block and change its bolck number to the intermediate value (if you are editing block number N180, after editing you can change it yo N171 to N179 and N181 to N189. Because in large text programs these block numbers are repeatative and your edited bolck number is identical.)
So post the text programs in the increment of 5 or10.
To run the progrm from the the desired posision, first hit RUN then START then BLOCK then type the block number eg. N171 then hit enter then start. But before that you must start the spindle manually or type the spindle speed and program feed in that block.  |
