Editing or deleting the last contour element

To edit the last contour element

: When the Change last soft key is

pressed the data of the "last" contour element are presented for

editing.
Depending on the adjoining contour elements, corrections of linear or

circular elements are either transferred immediately or the corrected

contour is displayed for inspection. ICP highlights the affected contour

elements in color. If the change permits several possible solutions,

you can check all mathematically possible solutions with the Next
solution

/ Previous solution soft keys.

The change will not become effective until you confirm by soft key. If

you discard the change, the old description becomes effective again.
The type of contour element (linear or circular element), the direction

of a linear element, or the direction of rotation of a circular element

cannot be changed. Should this be necessary, you must delete the

element and add a new contour element.
To delete the last contour element
