Selecting and storing machining positions

Three possibilities are available in the pattern generator for defining
machining positions:

„

Individual selection:
You select the desired machining position through individual mouse
clicks (see “Individual selection” on page 248)

„

Quick selection of hole positions in an area defined by the mouse:
By dragging the mouse to define an area, you can select all the hole
positions within it (see “Quick selection of hole positions in an area
defined by the mouse” on page 249)

„

Quick selection of hole positions by entering a diameter:
By entering a hole diameter, you can select all hole positions with
that diameter in the DXF file (see “Quick selection of hole positions
by entering a diameter” on page 250)

You must use the touchpad on the TNC keyboard or a
mouse attached via the USB port in order to select a
machining position.

If the positions to be selected are very close to one
another, use the zoom function.

If required, configure the basic settings so that the TNC
shows the tool paths (see “Basic settings” on page 240).
