Start, Inserting and Managing of CNC Programs
Example: Maximum tolerance angle: 45°:
Move program
This command will open the dialog translation vector where you can define a vector by which the
CNC program will be shifted. You can insert values for the following axes: X, Y, Z, P, Q, U, V, W.
Rotate program
Use this command if you want to rotate the current program. In the dialog Rotation angle insert the
desired angle. The program will be rotated accordingly counterclockwise around the zero point.
Stretch program
This command opens the dialog Stretch coefficient. Insert here the factor by which the NC program
should be stretched.
Invert direction
If you choose this command the path will be inverted in order to get processed in the reverse
direction. The switch positions will stay as they were before.
Split object
This command opens a dialog where you can define for the currently selected path object a Split
position. Enter any value between 0 (start position of the current object) and 1 (end position) to mark
the desired position where the object should be split to two objects.
Example: Object N10 will be divided at position 0.5:
...
N0 G01 X123.000000 Y73.550000
N10 G01 X40.0 Y50.0
...
Result: new object (additonal position) at X=20
...
N0 G01 X20.000000 Y40.000000
N10 G01 X40.000000 Y50.000000
N20 G01 X123.000000 Y73.550000
...
The resulting new Y-subposition will be automatically adapted according to the path progression.
