Set the zero point
To output the contour as an NC program, you must specify a zero
point in the drawing since, in most cases, this will deviate from the
zero point of the DXF file.
You have the following options for defining the zero point:
•
Automatically at element center
•
Automatically at element start
•
Automatically at element end
•
Direct input of coordinates
•
Any position selected
Contour trace with start and end points
The start and end points of the contour to be created are selected as a
function of the initial position of the applied technology:
•
Automatically at element center
•
Automatically at element start/end point
•
Directly selected with the mouse
