Y Axis 46
4.1.2
Contours
in
the
XY
Plane
(Front
and
Back)
4.1.2 Contours in the XY Plane (Front and Back)
Starting point of contour
X, Y: Starting point of the contour in Cartesian coordinates (X
radius diameter)
P, α : Starting point of the contour in polar coordinates (reference
angle α : positive X axis)
Line segment
When entering a line, use the menu symbol to select the direction
and assign dimensions.
Parameters
X, Y: End point in Cartesian coordinates (X radius dimension)
Xi, Yi: Distance from starting point to end point
P,
α : End point in polar coordinates (reference angle α : positive
X axis)
W(A): Angle of the line (for reference see illustration)
WV:
Angle of the preceding element
WN: Angle to the successor element
WV, WN:
■ The angle leads from the preceding/succeeding element
counterclockwise to the new element.
■ Arc as preceding/succeeding element: Angle to tangent.
L: Length of line
Tangential/nontangential: Specify the transition to the next contour
