Automatic positioning:

(entry is
mandatory)
After you have entered all parameters for the plane definition, you 
must specify how the rotary axes will be positioned to the calculated 
axis values:
8
The PLANE function is to automatically position the
rotary axes to the calculated position values. The 
position of the tool relative to the workpiece is to 
remain the same. The TNC carries out a 
compensating motion in the linear axes.
8
The PLANE function is to automatically position the
rotary axes to the calculated position values, but only 
the rotary axes are positioned. The TNC does not 
carry out a compensating motion in the linear axes.
8
You will position the rotary axes later in a separate
positioning block.
If you have selected the MOVE option (PLANE function is to position the 
axes automatically), the following two parameters must still be 
defined: Dist. tool tip – center of rot. and Feed rate? F=. If you 
have selected the TURN option (PLANE function is to position the axes 
automatically without any compensating movement), the following 
parameter must still be defined: Feed rate? F=.
