GOTO function
Description of function
If an NC program is open for simulation or execution, the control additionally positions the execution cursor in front of the NC block. The control then starts program run or the simulation beginning from the defined NC block without considering the preceding lines of the NC program.
You can enter the block number directly or find it in the NC program with the Search function.

Notice
Danger of collision!
If you select an NC block in program run using the GOTO function and then execute the NC program, the control ignores all previously programmed NC functions (e.g., transformations). This means that there is a risk of collision during subsequent traversing movements!
- Use GOTO only when programming and testing NC programs
- Only use Block scan when executing NC programs
Block scan for mid-program startup
Notes
- Instead of the GOTO button, you can also use the CTRL + G shortcut.
- If the control in the action bar shows an icon for selection, you can open the selection window with GOTO.
