SOURCE Block Delete

Block Delete Option

The Block Delete option allows for specially marked lines to be ignored when running a G-Code file. This can be helpful for the operator when there are part variants, the need for additional finish passes, or during testing.

Pull down Configure -> Control -> Settings tab, and filter for "delete"

Consider the following G-Code:

N1 G0 Z-0.10
N2 G0 X1.0
N3 M3 S500
N4 G0  X2.0

/ N5 G0  Z-1.0
/4 N6 G1 Z-1.5 F10.0
/8 N7 G0 Z-1.0

N8  G0  Z-0.10
N10  M30
%

When you run it normally, all of the lines will be executed. If you click the Block Delete button, a new window will open for you to select the levels to be deleted from the run.

With the Block Delete levels /  /4  /8 selected, lines N5, N6, and N7 will not be run.
