Newbie- Great Question!

[VWbmx]

I'm sorta new to the CNC world and am the programer of a Super VF2.

I just realized that when I go into the Quick Codes and add to current program I've always replaced the O##### not realizing that it doesn't save the old O#####.

So how would I create a new program w/o using another one?

Does that even make sence?

Thanks!

If I understand your question.
Go to the LIST PROG page
Type in O####
Then hit the WRITE/ENTER key
That will start an entirely new PGM
I don’t use quick code so I hope this helps

BINGO!!!! Thanks!

I knew there had to be an easy way.

Geez I kinda feel stupid now.

Gotta learn to crawl before you walk, didn't your machine come with a big giant red binder manual? You can manually write programs in a txt editor and put programs #'s in there at the very top after the % and load it into the machine that way also.

We got the machine used from a HFO.

It's a 2004 I think.

It came with a black Programers / Operators guide. I looked threw it and couldn't find anything on that.

I'm still using a lot of VQC's now while I learn G-code and stuff.

Thanks for the help!

Might be of some use.

I use it all the time for convenience.

Thanks for the manuals link!
I'm saving it in the favorites!
Yeah I've programed before on a Bridgeport V2XT. (Standard J2 Bridgeport w/ a Computer hanging off the side)
That was 5 years ago so I'm just cleaning out the cobwebs for a bit.

THis is my first CNC with flod coolant that I've programed! Thats quite a plus.

OK... I'm done rambleing.

I learned conversational programming on an Bridgeport EZ Track DX, then we got into high production with Haas machines and learned G code and have been writing G code programs for 13 years now. The other day, the machining centers were tied up for a one off, so I decided to program a hole interpolation on the EZ and was totally lost with the conversational language....I felt like a moron lol
