<AUTO-ROUND>

True if the Auto Round check-box is checked in turn properties.

<BAR-FEED>

True if the current operation is a bar feeder operation.

<BAR-PULL>

True if the current operation is a bar puller operation.

<COMP-END>

True if the move represents the end section for compensation (last element, or move of path), otherwise <COMP-END> is false.

<COMP-MID>

True if the move represents the middle section for compensation (between the first and last moves of path), otherwise <COMP-MID> is false

<COMP-ON>

True if tool nose radius compensation box is checked in turn properties.

<COMP-START>

True if the move represents the start section for compensation (first element, or move of path), otherwise <COMP-START> is false

<CSS-ON>

True if constant surface speed check-box is checked in turn properties.

<CW-SPINDLE>

True if spindle is rotating clockwise.

<FACE-BFACE>

True if performing a facing or back-facing operation. This would be true for a Turning feature using a Face or Back face roughing strategy or a Facing feature.

<FINISH>

True for finish operations.

<FLOAT-TAP>

True if floating tap cycle is selected in feature properties.

<ID>

True for Inside Diameter operations.

<IDOD-GROV>

Used to differentiate among G codes that are specialized for grooves on ID (inner diameter), OD (outer diameter), or those on the FACE as shown in the examples below:

 

<IFNOT><IDOD-GROV>

Implies that s FACE GROOVE CYCLE program format block is output

<IF><IDOD-GROV>

Implies that an ID, or OD GROOVE CYCLE format block is output

<IS-INC-MAC>

True if incremental macros are enabled in feature properties / strategy dialog.  

<LAST-TOOL>

True if the  current tool is the very last tool in the program

<LEFT-HANDED>

True if the current tool is left handed.

<MAIN-SPCMD>

True if the current spindle is the main. False if the sub-spindle is the current spindle.

<MAIN-SPNDLE>

True if main spindle is current spindle.

<OD>

True for Outside Diameter operations.

<OFFSET-CH>

Normally used in a SEGMENT START block; true if the OFFSET# is changed between segments:

 

<IF><OFFSET-CH><THEN>

{N<SEQ>}T{<COMP-NUM>}<TOOL><OFFSET#><EOB>

<ENDIF>

<POS-DIR>

True if the operation is cutting in a positive direction.

<POST-RCAN>

True for the moves after rough canned cycle.

<PRE-GCAN>

True for the last move before groove canned cycle.

<PRE-PCAN>

True for the moves before finish canned cycle.

<PRE-RCAN>

True for the moves before rough canned cycle.

<RANGE-CH>

Normally used in a SEGMENT START block, and is true if there is a change in gear range:

 

<IF><RANGE-CH><THEN>

{N<SEQ>}MO5<EOB>

{N<SEQ>}<SP-RANGE><EOB>

{N<SEQ>}S<CALC-SPEED><SPINDLE-ON><EOB>

<ENDIF>

<REUSE-PATH>

True if the "Reuse path in canned cycle" check-box is checked in turn properties.

<RIGID-TAP>

True if rigid tap cycle is selected in feature properties.

<TAPER>

True for tapered threads.

<TCAN-CYCLE>

True if inside a turning canned cycle.

<TCAN-END>

True for last move in the profile.

<TCAN-START>

True for first move in the profile.

<TOOL-LEFT>

True if the tool is on the left of the cutting path.

<UNDER-CHECK>

True if the Undercut Check check-box is checked in turn properties.
