A template is a predefined NC code block that is adapted to your lathe
and is integrated in the NC program. Templates generally contain
structure commands, synchronizations, zero point shifts etc. They
make it easier to program complex operations.
Templates are provided by the machine tool builder. He can inform you
whether templates are available on your machine and if so, which
ones. You can optimize the templates for your requirements (see
“DIN PLUS Templates” on page 354).
The working plan function collects all comments that begin with //
and places them before the MACHINING instruction. This gives you an
overview of the NC program’s operations.
