Example: Ellipse
Program sequence
The contour of the ellipse is approximated by many
short lines (defined in Q7). The more calculation
steps you define for the lines, the smoother the curve
becomes.
The milling direction is determined with the starting
angle and end angle in the plane :
Machining direction is clockwise:
Starting angle > end angle
Machining direction is counterclockwise:
Starting angle < end angle
The tool radius is not taken into account.
