Format Cycle Off
=============================================


This command can be added by right-clicking on the "Drilling Cycle" heading inside "Commands" tab.

It is used in the NC program to deactivate (to end) the drilling cycles.

In the APT/CL file, all drilling cycles are terminated with CYCLE/OFF. In response to this, the :ref:`Format Cycle Off<Format Cycle Off>`. command is activated in MANUSpost and the codes required to close the drilling cycle should be defined inside this command.

The drilling cycle termination statement, expressed by the lines "CYCLE/OFF" in the APT/CL file, first activates the :ref:`Event Cycle End<Event Cycle End / ActionCycleOff>`. in MANUSpost. “ActionCycleOff” is included as standard in “Event Cycle End”. “ActionCycleOff” runs “Format Cycle Off”.
