Contour selection, saving a contour program
8
Select the mode for choosing a contour. The TNC
hides the layers shown in the left window, and the
right window becomes active for contour selection.
8
To select a contour element, click the desired contour
element with the left mouse button. The selected
contour element turns blue. At the same time, the
TNC marks the selected element with a symbol
(circle or line) in the left window.
8
To select the next contour element, click the desired
contour element with the left mouse button. The
selected contour element turns blue. If further
contour elements in the selected machining
sequence are clearly selectable, these elements turn
green. Click on the last green element to assume all
elements into the contour program. The TNC shows
all selected contour elements in the left window.
8
To save the selected contour elements in a plain-
language program, enter any file name in the pop-up
window displayed by the TNC. Default setting: Name
of the DXF file
8
Confirm the entry: The TNC saves the contour
program in the directory in which the DXF file is also
saved.
8
If you want to select more contours, press the
CANCEL SELECTED ELEMENTS soft key and select
the next contour as described above.
You must use the touchpad on the TNC keyboard or a
mouse attached via the USB port in order to select a
contour.
If you are not using the contour program in the smarT.NC
operating mode, you must specify the machining
sequence when selecting the contour that it matches the
desired machining direction.
Select the first contour element such that approach
without collision is possible.
If the contour elements are very close to one another, use
the zoom function.
The TNC also transfers the workpiece-blank definition
((BLK FORM)) to the contour program.
The TNC only saves elements that have actually been
selected (blue elements).
