Copying a contour section in circular series
With this function, you can define a contour section and append it to
the existing contour in a circular series.
 Select "Copy > Row Circular" in the finished part menu
 Use the Next element or Previous element soft key to select
contour elements
 Press the Select soft key
 Enter the number of repeats and the radius
 Press the Save soft key
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
 Press the Save soft key
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.
Parameters
W
Angle of the mirror axis. The mirror axis intersects the current
end point of the contour.
Reference of the angle: positive Z axis
