Defining a reference point; selecting and saving
contours
Setting the reference point and selecting the contours is identical to
data transfer from the DXF file:
See "Specifying the reference point" on page 242
See "Selecting and saving a contour" on page 244
In addition, a special function is available to quickly select contours:
The TNC displays contour names in the layer mode if the program
contains appropriately formatted structure items.
Double-click a layer to have the TNC automatically select the complete
contour up to the next structure item. Use the Save function to save
the selected contour directly as an NC program.
