When editing a program, the following buttons are available:

Button Function

Preview opens the preview window showing the tool paths in the program. Also activates Side Bar viewing buttons for optional viewing formats.

Help activates the Edit Help screen. Refer to "Activating Edit Help" on page 370.

Insert activates Insert Mode. Use to insert typed characters at the cursor position without overwriting the existing text.

Delete Block deletes a single block located at the cursor.

Find/Replace will search and replace a specified code with another specified code.

ReEdit opens the Edit Help form to assist with modifying the block where the cursor is currently located. If re-edit is not allowed, a message will be displayed in the message bar.

If ReEdit is used on blocks with multiple commands separated by a semi-colon, the Edit Help form for the first command will be loaded. After saving the form, the rest of the commands will automatically be placed at the end of the block as it was before the ReEdit.

This also applies for comments at the end of a line. The comment will be placed at the end when the Help Form is closed.

Edit Features opens a new bottom menu bar with additional task options for editing the program. This menu is described in the following table.

Exit will exit from the Edit Help screen, and saves any changes made.
