3. Press either the {STORE END PT} or the {EDIT & STORE} softkeys
after the axes have been positioned at the end point of the arc. The
control stores the current wheel position as the end point of the arc.
The {STORE END PT} softkey does not return the control to the
program display screen. Pressing this softkey inserts the generated
block at whatever location the cursor was last at on the program edit
screen and allows the operator to immediately begin entering the
next block using this same digitize feature.
The {EDIT & STORE} softkey returns the control to the program
display screen. The program block just generated is displayed on the
input line of the CRT and can be edited as covered on page 2-41.
This block is then inserted at the location of the block cursor when
you press the
[TRANSMIT] key.
Important: To abort the circular digitize operation, press the exit {

}
softkey at any time before pressing the {STORE END PT} or
{EDIT & STORE} softkeys. The control returns to softkey level 4. Then
select either another digitize feature (by pressing one of the softkeys) or
press the exit {
↑
} softkey to return the control to the regular edit session.
