Programming Help Pop-ups

Programming help pop-ups provide intelligent assistance while you write CNC code in the editor.

How They Work

The editor displays intelligent pop-ups while you write to facilitate the programming process:

Code Lists

When typing specific characters, the editor displays relevant lists. For example, typing "G" shows a list of available G-codes.

When entering a recognized G-code, it will show a help tooltip window explaining the code.

Navigation Methods

• Arrow keys - Navigate up and down lists

• Enter or Tab - Inserts selected codes into the editor

Supported Code Types

The pop-up system works with:

• G-codes
• M-codes
• $-codes (special commands)
• Tools
• Special commands like $AddRegPart and $AddEmbeddedRegPart

Workpiece Offset Assistance

When using codes G54-G59, the editor will help you by showing the workpieces offset values after the code.

Hover Information

Showing the tooltips while the mouse hovers over a recognized code provides additional context without active selection.
