    Post Edit program while DNC-ing it from memory card. Is it possible? (fanuc 18i mill)

    First of all, this is great site, I learned a lot from reading it.
    Problem:
    I want to edit program that is saved in memory card.
    Memory card (2GB) is connected to Makino PS65 CNC milling machine (3 axis, build year 2011) with Fanuc 18.0 (manual guide i).
    Is it possible to edit program while not copying it into cnc memory?

    The reason I didn't copy it to cnc is that cnc memory is to small for it. Program is 1.4MB (my first CAM experiments )
    I was able to run this program directly from memory card via RMT mode.
    While this is great option, it is somehow tedious to take the card out of machine and go to the computer to edit program, every single time I want to modify some lines.

    Please help me guys!

    I believe Fanuc offers a "PC Tool for Formatting Memory Card" which allows editing of the program on the card while it's in the control... but I'm pretty sure it's not available for the 18i, only 0i-D and 30i series.

    Is it possible to edit a program on a machine while DNC-ing it from PC?

    It is not possible on that control.
