TB159 Rev1 Skip First Copy in Intercon
Overview
This document describes how to skip the first copy of a Repeat or Rotate operation in Intercon
Background
The standard Rotate Repeat and Mirror operations in Intercon do not have a ΓSkip First CopyΓ option in the operation
itself An example is the flange program shown below
Standard Rotated Flange Program
This program produces a part that looks like this
Graph of Standard Rotated Flange
Procedure
To skip the first copy of a part in a Repeat Mirror or Rotate insert a ΓGOTOΓ before the first copy The destination of the
GOTO must be the Repeat Rotate or Mirror operation itself In this example we insert the GOTO at line 50 as shown
below The rapid at line 40 makes sure that the height offset is posted before the code for the first copy The GOTO
forces a branch around the first copy so that it never executes
