Copying a contour section by mirroring

With this function, you can define a contour section, mirror it and add

it to the existing contour.

Select "Copy > Mirror" in the finished part menu

Use the Next element or Previous element soft key to select

contour elements

Enter the angle of the mirror axis

Inverting

With the Invert function, you can reverse the programmed direction of

a contour.

Parameters
Q

Number of copies (the contour section is copied Q times)

R

Radius

The control uses the entered radius for creating a circle

both around the starting point and the end point of the

contour section. The points of intersection of the circles

are the two possible centers of rotation.
The angle of rotation is calculated from the distance

between starting point and end point of the contour

section.
Use the Next solution or Previous solution soft key to

select one of the mathematically possible solutions.

Parameter
W Angle of the mirror axis. The mirror axis intersects the current

end point of the contour.
Reference of the angle: positive Z axis
