Bookmarks
You can use the bookmarks to manage your directory favorites. You
can add or delete the current directory to or from the list, or delete all
bookmarks. All directories that you have added appear in the
bookmark list, making them available for rapid selection.
You activate the bookmark function by clicking the path name in the
right part of the pop-up window of the "Save" function.
Bookmarks are managed as follows:
 The "Save" function is active: The TNC displays the File name for
contour program
pop-up window.
 Click the currently displayed path name in the top right part of the
pop-up window with the left mouse button. The TNC displays
another pop-up menu.
 With the left mouse button, click the menu item Bookmarks and
select the desired function.
The TNC also transfers two workpiece-blank definitions
(BLK FORM) to the contour program. The first definition
contains the dimensions of the entire DFX file. The
second one, which is the active one, contains only the
selected contour elements, so that an optimized size of
the workpiece blank results.
The TNC only saves elements that have actually been
selected (blue elements), which means that they have
been given a check mark in the left window.
