The position specifications for the pole and points P1 to P3 in polar coordinates are:
Pole: X30 Z30 (relative to the zero point)
P1: L30 α30° (relative to the pole)
P2: L30 α60° (relative to the pole)
P3: L30 α90° (relative to the pole)

Clamping the spindle

The "Clamp spindle" function must be set up by the machine manufacturer.
Note for selecting the clamp spindle function under ShopTurn
The machine manufacturer also specifies whether ShopTurn will clamp the spindle
automatically if this would facilitate machining, or if you can decide the types of machining for
which the spindle should be clamped.
If you are to decide the types of machining for which the spindle is to be clamped, the following
applies:
You should note that when machining in the end face/end face C and peripheral surface/
peripheral surface C planes, clamping only remains active for contour milling and drilling
operations. On the other hand, when machining in the end face Y/end face B and peripheral
surface Y planes, clamping is modal, i.e. it remains active until the machining plane is changed.
9.5 Creating a ShopTurn program
Create a separate program for each new workpiece that you would like to produce. The
program contains the individual machining steps that must be performed to produce the
workpiece.
