9.7 Defining the Machining Plane
with a Single, Incremental 
Space Angle: PLANE RELATIVE
Function
Use the incremental space angle when an already active tilted 
machining plane is to be tilted by another rotation. Example: 
machining a 45° chamfer on a tilted plane.
Before programming, note the following:
The defined angle always applies to the active machining 
plane, no matter which function you used to activate it.
You can program any number of PLANE RELATIV functions 
in a row.
If you want to return to the machining plane that was 
active before the PLANE RELATIV function, redefine the 
PLANE RELATIV
function with the same angle but with the
opposite algebraic sign.
If you use the PLANE RELATIV function on an untilted 
machining plane, then you simply rotate the untilted plane 
about the space angle defined in the PLANE function.
Parameter description for the positioning behavior: See 
“Specifying the Positioning Behavior of the PLANE 
Function,” page 482.
