With the QuickView functions and QuickPath Plus, you can use
dimensions from part drawings directly to create a part program. The
sample patterns available with the QuickPath Plus prompts are summarized
below.
Use this pattern:
When you are programming
this geometry:
And you know the:
{CIR
ANG PT}
an arc to a line
arc radius and the taper angle of a line
{CIR CIR}
an arc to another arc
coordinates of the arc centers
{ANG
CIR PT}
a line to an arc
taper angle of a line and the arc radius
{1ANG PT}
a line
taper angle and either of the end point
coordinate values
{2ANG 1PT}
two successive lines
angles of two tapered lines
{2ANG
1PT R}
