Running macros without displaying GUI items

The NOGUI statement enables you to use PowerMill modes without displaying GUI items, for example, toolbars, mode-toolbars, dialogs or graphics.

To use Workplane macros without displaying GUI items, enter NOGUI after MODE, for example:

MODE NOGUI WORKPLANE_EDIT START "1"

To use Curve editor macros without displaying GUI items, enter NOGUI after CURVEEDITOR, for example:

EDIT PATTERN ; CURVEEDITOR NOGUI START
Note: As the NOGUI command runs the equivalent of GRAPHICS LOCK when the mode starts, certain operations involving the selection of pattern segments may not work correctly.
