Fanuc 0i-MD pattern macro option

[klosr]

Hello everyone, i have just encountered a new machine with fanuc 0i-md controller but they have a selection for C.A.P under edit mode for pattern macro programming as such pattern drilling and pocketing with graphic.
I have tried out a little and the g-code in my program shows g1300 for example at start of program line follow by all the rest of the value. which is similar to macro program.
anyone have used this before? is there any guide for it? thanks

Take a look at this thread: -

It looks like the predecessor to manual guide i. Basically the 'cycle' defines how you want to cut, and the 'figure' defines where you want to cut. You assemble 'cycles' and 'figures' as necessary to create the program.

Yup what? a Mori panel or Fanuc?
I have the full manual in PDF for the mori panel, however you would too if it's a mori. They put the manuals in the control, you can even download them.
