7.2 Data transfer from plain-
language programs
Application
Using this function you can take contour sections or complete
contours from existing plain-language programs, especially those
created with CAM systems. The TNC shows the plain-language
dialogs in two-dimensional or three-dimensional form.
It is particularly efficient to use data transfer in conjunction with the
smartWizard
, which provides contour editing UNITs for 2-D and 3-D
processing.
