With the QuickView functions and the QuickPath Plus section, dimensions
from part drawings can be used directly to create a part program. The
sample patterns available with the QuickPath Plus prompts are summarized
below.
{CIR ANG PT} The arc radius and the taper angle of a line are known for the geometry from
an arc to the line. R (Radius), ,A (Angle in degrees), G (02 for clockwise 03
for counter clockwise) and the coordinates of the endpoint.
{CIR CIR} The coordinates of the arc centers are known for the geometry from an arc to
another arc.
{ANG CIR PT} The taper angle of a line and the arc radius are known for the geometry from
the line to an arc.
{1ANG PT} The taper angle and either of the end point coordinate values are known for
the definition of a line.
{2ANG 1PT} The angles of two tapered lines are known for defining two successive ta-
pered lines.
{2ANG 1PT R} The angles of two tapered lines are known for defining two lines joined by an
arc.
{2PT R} The intersection point of two lines are known for defining two lines joined by
an arc.
{2ANG 1PT C} The angles of two tapered lines are known for defining two lines joined by a
chamfer.
{2PT C} The intersection point of two lines are known for defining two lines joined by a
chamfer.
{2ANG 2PT R} The taper angles of two tapered lines and two arc radii are known for defining
three lines joined by and tangent to two arcs.
{3PT R} Two intersection points are known for defining three lines joined by an arc
between two adjacent lines.
{2ANG 2PT C} The Taper angles of two lines and one intersection point are known for defin-
ing three lines joined by chamfers.
{3PT C} Two intersection points are known for defining three lines joined by chamfers.
{2ANG 2PT RC} The taper angles of two tapered lines and one intersection point are known
for defining three lines joined by an arc and a chamfer.
{3PT RC} Two intersection points are known for defining three lines joined by an arc and
a chamfer.
{2ANG 2PT CR} The taper angles of two lines and one intersection point are known for defin-
ing three lines joined by an arc and a chamfer.
{3PT CR} Two intersection points are known for defining three lines joined by an arc and
a chamfer.
