Copying a contour section in circular series
With this function, you can define a contour section and append it to
the existing contour any number of times.
U Select “Copy > Row > Circular” in the finished part menu. TURN
PLUS marks the last element.
U Select the contour section (you can only select the last contour

Execution of “circular copying”
„ Centers of rotation: TURN PLUS 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.
„ Extending the contour: TURN PLUS copies the selected contour
section, rotates it and adds it to the contour.
