For each contour that you want to cut, you must create a new contour.
The first step in creating a contour is to specify a starting point.
ShopTurn automatically defines the end of the contour.
You have the option of beginning the contour with a transition element
to the blank. You can also enter any additional commands (up to 40
characters) in G code format for the start point.
If you want to create a contour that is similar to an existing contour,
you can copy the existing one, rename it and just alter selected
contour elements.
In contrast, if you want to use an identical contour at another place in
the program, you must not rename the copy. Changes to the one
contour will then automatically be applied to the other contour with the
same name.
Press the "Cont. turn." and "New contour" soft keys.
New

elements").
