Selection of a Program Fragment

Selecting a Program Code Fragment (Begin/End Select)

The Begin/End Select function is designed for quickly selecting a specific range of lines in a CNC program with just two clicks.

How Selection Works

1. Open the Edit menu and choose Begin/End Select, or use the assigned keyboard shortcut (if configured).
2. The first click — beginning of selection (sets the start point).
3. The second click — end of selection (sets the end point).
4. All code between the start and end points will be automatically selected.

What You Can Do with the Selected Code Block

• Copy — paste the selected code into another location.
• Cut — move the block to another part of the code.
• Find / Search in selection — perform a search only within the selected area.
• Replace in selection — replace text within the selection.
• Print selection — print only the selected section of code.
• Edit — make any changes without affecting the rest of the code.

Advantages of Using Begin/End Select

• Quickly select large code fragments without manually dragging with the mouse.
• Convenient for working with subprograms, cycles, and specific trajectory segments.
• Reduces the risk of accidentally modifying unrelated lines.

Note: To clear the selection after you finish working with it, click anywhere in the code editor.
