Superimposed mirroring

With the superimposed mirroring function you can mirror all active

axes.

In the global program settings form, move the cursor to
MIRRORING ON/OFF,

and use the SPACE key to activate the function

With the downward arrow key, set the cursor to the axis that you

want to mirror

Press the SPACE key to mirror the axis. Pressing the SPACE key

again cancels the function

If you work with a mouse, you can select the desired axis directly by

clicking it.

Additional, additive datum shift

With the additive datum shift function you can compensate any

offsets in all active axes.

The mirrored axes defined in the form work in addition to

the values already defined in the program through Cycle 8

(mirroring).
Remember that you may have to return to the contour

after activation of this function. The TNC then

automatically calls the return-to-contour menu after the

form is closed (see "Returning to the contour" on page

552).

The values defined in the form work in addition to the

values already defined in the program through Cycle 7

(datum shift).
Please note that the shifts defined when the working

plane is tilted are effective in the machine coordinate

system.
Remember that you may have to return to the contour

after activation of this function. The TNC then

automatically calls the return-to-contour menu after the

form is closed (see "Returning to the contour" on page

552).
