Hello again,
control# 8121
Having some trouble editing the gcode that Intercom has made.
I have 275 of 1800 bolts modified. Trying to save some steps in the program to get it to not do the tool change with the indexer just use tool 0101. Cut out some of the unnecessary moves and turn off the spinal right after moving of part the last time before retract move saves cost down time.
My issue is I can not get past the first page of code so I can edit it. or get the program from the report edit it and load it.
If some one can help that would be great Please and THANK YOU!!!

Can you post a copy of the CNC G code program?
Use F7/Utility -> F3/Backup -> F2/CNC to save a zip file containing selected CNC programs.
Can you post a picture of the F6/Edit screen that you you are unable to scroll beyond?
Are you mistaking the Intercon conversational "Turning" cycle screen for G code?

Thank yo for the reply!
I added a photo of the edit screen were I was trying to scroll through the code and it will not go to the rest of the 2nd page using F6 edit.
We are at the WITS Show today with 600 of the bolts to deliver.
I will post code using Backup this evening.
No I was trying to edit the g code using F6 edit and it will not go to the 2nd page.
Thank you again,

According to the very first photo, you have started the text editor with F6. The very last line on the screen says it's then end of the file. There is no second page.

There should be a few more lines below the "End Prog" comment, containing the G codes that Intercon posts at the end of the program. Presumably those would be the codes he wants to edit, to streamline the process of running part after part.
The problem is that the text editor is configured for a higher resolution screen, so it is showing more lines and columns than will fit on the 640x480 display in the M15. You can use the arrow keys to get down to those last few lines, and you can type changes on them, but since the cursor position will have disappeared off the bottom of the screen, you won't be able to see what you are doing.
You can change the default window size (rows and column) for the NEdit text editor, so that it fits on the 640x480 screen.
