Reverse operation order (Optional)

This option can be enabled to reverse the order of operations.

For example, if the following operations are pressed:

  • First bottom cuts

  • External internal

  • First left cuts

The actual order of operations is:

  • First left cuts

  • External internal

  • First bottom cuts

Because the positions are overwritten, this option is available to make the operation order match the chronological order.

With this option enabled, the operation order in this case is:

  • First bottom cuts

  • External internal

  • First left cuts

Activating a macro

Once the macro has been created and edited as desired, it can be selected and activated.

Macro activated
The currently loaded macro is highlighted in green and has a symbol immediately to its right confirming that it has been loaded.
The name of the loaded macro is also visible in the parameter User Values, under “Active operation”:

Procedure for creating and loading a macro

The first step is to ensure that the activation button is set to ON, so that the desired macro can subsequently be used.

Create a new operation by setting a name, then click the new operation now visible in the list and immediately afterwards the edit button on the right side of the panel to access the panel used to edit the macro.
For each operation type, select the desired operations from the list on the left (Available) and add them to the list of selected operations. The configuration can then be confirmed so that it can be viewed and managed in the operations panel.
The macro can be loaded by clicking the button immediately to the right of the macro name.
The following is an example of the macro named “operazione_1“, containing 3 operations shown on the right, and highlighted in green with the corresponding symbol because it is in the “loaded“ state.

The first step is to ensure that the activation button is set to ON, which is required in order to use the desired macro. Once enabled, create a new operation and assign it an identifying name. After it has been created, the operation appears in the list: select it and click the edit button on the right side of the panel to access the macro configuration interface.

Within this interface, for each operation type, select the desired items from the list on the left (labelled “Available”) and add them to the list on the right, which represents the selected operations. Once the selection is complete, confirm the configuration to make it visible and manageable in the operations panel.

The macro can be loaded by clicking the dedicated button immediately to the right of the assigned macro name. As an example, consider the macro named “operazione_1”: it contains three operations, shown in the panel on the right, and is highlighted in green with the dedicated symbol indicating its “loaded” state.
