To Subroutine NC Sequences
Subroutine programming allows you to create NC sequences, place them as macros at the beginning of the CL file, and then call them from the main body of the CL file as many times as needed. You can automatically create subroutines for all specified parts in the nest. This enhancement reduces the size of CL files, making them easier for the controller to handle and for the programmer to read and edit. Once you set up a process environment, individual NC sequences can be set for subroutine output.
