clipboard of the TNC so that you can then insert

the contour in a plain-language program, or
To save the selected contour elements in a plain-

language program, enter any file name and the

target directory in the pop-up window displayed

by the TNC. Default setting: Name of the DXF

file. If the name of the DXF file contains special

characters or spaces, the TNC replaces the

characters with underscores. Alternately, you can

also press the OK button: Plain language program
(

.H) or contour description (.HC)

Confirm the entry: The TNC saves the contour

program to the selected directory

If you want to select more contours, press the

Cancel Selected Elements soft key and select the

next contour as described above.

The TNC also transfers two workpiece-blank

definitions () to the contour program. The first

definition contains the dimensions of the entire

DXF file. The second one, which is the active one,

contains only the selected contour elements, so that

an optimized size of the workpiece blank results.
The TNC only saves elements that have actually been

selected (blue elements), which means that they

have been given a check mark in the left window.
When you save a file you can first add a bookmark

for the file location Later you can select the

bookmark if you want to save more files in the same

directory. If you want to add a bookmark or select

one, click the path information next to the symbol in

the saving dialog box

. The TNC opens a menu in which you can manage

the bookmarks.
