I can't help you with the pocket but maybe with the G-code paste.
You can transfer programs from MDI into a program by typing the program name in the MDI screen and pushing ALTER. For instance O12345 followed by ALTER will put whatever is one the MDI screen into a program named O12345.
Now if you want to copy and paste what is in this program into a different program open it in EDIT. Highlight the part you want to copy...this is F2 at the start line, scroll down and F2 at the end line; this highlights the selection. Now F1 to open the editor menu bar, you may have to scroll left or right until the menu that has COPY TO CLIPBOARD show. Scroll down to COPY TO CLIPBOARD and press WRITE, press UNDO to cancel the highlighting. Now your selection is saved on the clipboard. Open the program you want to paste it into, scroll down to the line above the paste point, press F1, scroll to PASTE FROM CLIPBOARD and press WRITE then UNDO and now your stuff is pasted into your program.  |
