Programming and adding to ICP contours
After selecting a contour element, you enter the known parameters.
MANUALplus automatically calculates parameters that have not been
defined from the adjoining contour elements. You can usually program
the contour elements with the dimensions given in the production
drawing.
You can toggle between the lines and arcs menus by soft key. Form
elements (chamfers, roundings, and undercuts) are selected with the
menu key.
Press Insert element.
Select the element type:
„ Direction of line ("Enter lines" menu)
„ Direction of rotation and type of dimensioning of circular arcs
("Enter arcs" menu)
„ Type of form element
Define the parameters.
You can add to an ICP contour by entering additional contour
elements that are "appended" to the existing contour. A newly entered
contour element is always linked to the "last contour element."
MANUALplus identifies the last contour element by a small square at
the end of the contour, when the contour is being displayed, but not
machined.
Absolute or incremental dimensions
The setting of the Increment soft key determines which type of
coordinate is active. Incremental parameters will have the appendix "i"
(Xi, Zi, etc.).
Soft keys
Call the arcs menu.
Call the lines menu.
