79 Your screen should now present “CIMCO 123” in the following way. Notice the rapid moves, indicated by the yellow lines, retracting to the level we defined using the Parameters dialog. The example text milling program “CIMCO 123” can be used as subprogram to another program by simple cut-and-paste, but can also be completed as an independent program, providing it is supplied with the code lines for Program Start/Program Stop, Tool Change, and Feed/Speed, which you can quickly add either manually or with the Macro function in CIMCO Edit 5. Important notice The final execution of the program depends to a high degree of the applied macro programs. It is also important that the correct set-up of CNC-Calc is used for each machine/control. It is very important to verify/simulate the programs before they are executed on a machine. Please pay special attention to the movements in the Z axis, and make sure that they run with the required feed and rapid move speed.
