The Resequence tab of the Options (Settings menu) command allows you to specify the settings for an NC file Resequence (Edit menu).
Once the Options command is selected, this dialog appears (select the Resequence tab):
Word ID – Specifies the sequence word to use. Note that you can use the Add Sequence (Edit menu) command to add a sequence word to lines if it is not already present.
Start – Specifies the initial number for the first sequence word.
Increment – Specifies the amount by which to increment each sequence word.
For example, if Word ID is set to N, Start = 10 and Increment = 10, the file would be resequenced as:
N10
N20
N30
N40...
Rules – The available combinations of Triggers and Labels that can be used for resequencing.
Trigger – Specify a string to search for embedded subroutine calls.
Label(s) – A list of word IDs which identify letter addresses to be renumbered (for example, N, P, Q, and so on).
Update – Updates a rule.
Delete – Deletes a rule.
If you resequence a file containing embedded subroutines (using the Trigger string), the Editor automatically updates all corresponding jump references. For example, G71 P120 Q280 U1.0 V0.5 F35.0 S2300, where the triggers are the combination of G71 with P and Q. P and Q identify the block numbers which identify the embedded subroutine. For many controls this would be blank.
