      <p class="para_topic">When you select the &nbsp;Display Combined N/C Code Blocks checkbox, the system displays the blocks in the combined mode.&nbsp;You can use this mode to get an idea of how the system combines the blocks.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">When you clear the&nbsp;Display Combined N/C Code Blocks box, the system displays the information in the uncombined mode.</p>
      <p align="center"><img align="bottom" src="graphics/pb_imager0n.gif"></p>
      <p class="para_topic">Each of the sequence dialogs have the same basic options: you can&nbsp;add, copy or delete blocks.&nbsp;</p>
      <div class="title_division">Adding a Block</div>
      <p class="para_division">To add a block, select the block you want to add to a marker.&nbsp;You can do this from this block selection pull down dialog.</p>
      <p class="para_division">Once you have selected the block, click the&nbsp;Add Block button and drag the block to the desired marker.&nbsp;You now have the option of placing your new block before, with, or after any existing block that is already being output with that marker.&nbsp;Continue to hold down the mouse button until the existing block is highlighted.&nbsp;The highlight appears either above, below or completely around the existing block.&nbsp;</p>
      <p class="para_division">To place the new block before an existing block release the mouse when the highlight appears above the existing block.&nbsp;To place the new block after an existing block release the mouse when the highlight appears below the existing block.&nbsp;&nbsp;To place the new block with an existing block release the mouse when the highlight appears around the existing block.&nbsp;If there are no existing blocks being output with the desired marker, then drag the new block until the highlight appears to the right of the marker and then release the mouse button.</p>
      <p align="center"><img align="bottom" src="graphics/pb_imageh2o.gif"></p>
      <p align="center"><img align="bottom" src="graphics/pb_image2om.gif"></p>
      <p class="para_division">With the entire existing block highlighted, the system lists the new block on the same line as the existing block.</p>
      <p align="center"><img align="bottom" src="graphics/pb_imageov4.gif"></p>
      <p align="center"><img align="bottom" src="graphics/pb_imageer6.gif"></p>
      <p class="para_division">With the highlight appearing above the existing block, the system lists the new block on a line above the existing block. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
      <p align="center"><img align="bottom" src="graphics/pb_image52g.gif"></p>
      <p align="center"><img align="bottom" src="graphics/pb_imagetm9.gif"></p>
      <p class="para_division">With the highlight appearing below the existing block, the system lists the new block on a line below the existing block.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Copying a Block</div>
      <p class="para_division">You can also copy a block or blocks and paste them with another marker in the same sequence.&nbsp; This is very useful, for instance, to make the first and auto tool change events both output the same code.&nbsp;To copy a single block, right click the right mouse button and select&nbsp;Copy As.&nbsp;You now can make a copy of the blocks using the&nbsp;Reference Block option or use the New Block option to create completely new blocks.&nbsp;The New Block option allows you to edit the new blocks without changing the original blocks.&nbsp;The Reference Block option means that only one copy of the blocks exists and any changes apply to both.&nbsp;You can place the block using the same techniques as the Add Block option. You can also copy all the blocks associated with a marker by right clicking on the marker itself.&nbsp;Now you can place all the blocks with another marker.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Deleting a Block</div>
      <p class="para_division">To delete an existing block from a marker, you can either right click on the block and select delete or drag the block to trash can.</p>
