Add Comment Characters

How the Function Works

• If a text fragment is selected — comment characters are added only within the selected area.
• If no selection is made — the entire program text is processed.
• Each non-empty line is enclosed in parentheses ( ... ), turning it into a G-code comment.

Example

; Original code:
N10 G00 X0 Y0
N20 G01 X10 Y10 F100

; After adding comment characters:
(N10 G00 X0 Y0)
(N20 G01 X10 Y10 F100)
  

Purpose

This function allows you to quickly turn one or more lines into comments without manually adding parentheses. It is useful for temporarily excluding code from execution when testing or debugging an NC program.

Note

Keep in mind that commented lines will not be executed on the CNC machine. To restore the code's operation, you need to remove the comment characters using the Remove Comment Chars function.
