How to change wrist angle in middle of circle

I've seen this in one of our programs in which we are running a circle feature, but the probe changes wrist angles halfway through (along with move points) in order to take hits all the way around the part. I did not write this program, but here is the code:

I can put move points in the feature, but if I put the cursor on a line that I want to put a wrist angle after, it moves the wrist angle command to the next line AFTER the entire feature. How can I put the wrist angle command inside the feature, as shown above?

  • While autofeatures have some wonderful enhancements for motion control, I have not seen any notable difference in the measurement/result between auto/meas features.
    Often I find that most things are programmed with individual autopoints then constructed into the features we need, this is mainly for time savings but enables us wrist freedom everywhere.
