Drills/bores a hole pattern in the active WCS. Drag the handles in the 2D layout (left) to set the pattern — round handle sizes it, square handle places it; the 3D view (right) verifies the cut. Peck = plunge (hole Ø = drill); Bore = ring-step an end mill (hole Ø ≥ tool). Spindle start + end-of-program are added from Settings.

Clears a rectangular or circular pocket with an end mill in the active WCS. Drag the handles in the 2D layout (square = place, round = size); the 3D view verifies the cut. Walls are offset inward by the tool radius so the finished pocket matches the size you type. Spindle start + end-of-program come from Settings.

Traces a rectangular or circular profile with an end mill in the active WCS. The boundary you type is the FINISHED edge; the toolpath is offset to a side (outside / inside / on) by the tool radius and stepped down to depth. Drag the handles in the 2D layout (square = place, round = size); the dashed line is the boundary, the solid line is the tool-centre path. Spindle start + end-of-program come from Settings.

Mills a straight slot from point A to point B in the active WCS. Drag the A / B / width handles in the 2D layout; the 3D view verifies the cut. The tool centre travels A→B, so the slot ends are rounded a tool-radius beyond each point. Width = tool → one pass; width > tool → parallel passes. Spindle start + end-of-program come from Settings.

Skims the top of the stock flat over a rectangular area. Opens sized to the whole stock top; drag the handles to face a sub-area. The tool overhangs the area edge by its radius so the whole top is faced — keep the area within fixture clearance. Spindle start + end-of-program come from Settings.

Engraves filled text (part tags / labels) in the active WCS. Letters are pocket-filled from a single-stroke font, so the counters (holes in O, A, 8…) come out clean. Drag the pos / height handles in the 2D layout; the 3D verifies the cut. Use a small end mill (or V-bit). Spindle start + end-of-program come from Settings.

Tool-length probe parameters come from Settings → ATC (block height, feeds, max distance, retract, Q) and the tool-setter pin/level from Settings → Probes. The preview reflects those values — edit them in Settings. ▶ traces the Z touch on the setter.

A quick tap on the tool setter that aborts if the tool is broken, missing, or the wrong length. Re-measures and compares to the stored tool-length table (1430+T-1). Setter pin/level from Settings → Probes; block height, feeds, safe Z, max distance from Settings → ATC.

Generates a macro you run on the controller to write the table — variable writes only, no motion. Pocket writes are unverified; running it is the test.

MAGAZINE & TOOL CHANGE
TOOL CHANGE
Parks safely (G53 Z to the change height, then G53 X/Y to the change position) then emits a bare M6 — the controller runs its own working tool-change handler. The change position reuses Park X/Y from the magazine settings.
ASSUMED model — this drawbar pick & place sequence is not proven on real DDCS firmware. Pocket positions come from the controller tables (#1330+ X · #1350+ Y · #1370+ Z) — teach them first. Verify on your machine before trusting this.
CODE PREVIEW (VERIFY ON YOUR MACHINE)
ATC COMMISSIONING TEST
Run these BEFORE the first automatic change: drawbar cycling proves the pneumatics + sensors; the pocket dry-run proves the taught positions. Both simulate in the 3D drawer (▶ Run · I/O panel).
