Example: Enter data, and execute a circle pattern.
„ Holes (no. of): 4
„ Coordinates of center: X = 2.0” / Y = 1.5”
„ Bolt circle radius: 5
„ Start angle: Angle between X axis, and first hole: 25°
„ Hole depth: Z = -0.25”
1st step: Enter data
8 Press CIRCLE PATTERN hard key.
8 Enter the type of circle pattern (full). Cursor to the next field.
8 Enter the number of holes (4).
8 Enter the X, and Y coordinates of the circle center (X=2.0), (Y=1.5).
Cursor to the next field.
8 Enter the radius of the circle pattern (5).
8 Enter the start angle (25°).
8 Enter the end angle (295°) (this can only be changed if entering a
“segment”). The End Angle is defined as the angle from the positive
X-axis to the end of the pattern.
8 Enter the depth when needed. The depth of the hole is optional, and
may be left blank. If not required, press ENTER.
8 Three views are available: Incremental DRO, Pattern Graphic, and
