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?

  • In my days of using version 2.3 and 3.0, I did this often. Just now worked in version 2021, I was able to copy/paste the "Tip..." line next to a MOVE PT. In Edit Window Command Mode, I put the clicked the cursor on the line "Move" or "Hit" that I wanted the "Tip..." line to come after. It seems to have worked back then and still now. I hope it works for you too.
