e option)
 Save the selected machining positions to the
clipboard of the TNC so that you can then insert them
as a positioning block with cycle call in a plain-
language program, or
 To save the selected machining positions to a point
file, enter the target directory and any file name in the
pop-up window displayed by the TNC. Default
setting: Name of the DXF file. If the name of the DXF
file contains special characters or spaces, the TNC
replaces the characters with underscores. As an
alternative, you can also select the file type: Point
table (.PNT), pattern generator table (.HP) or plain-
language program (.H). If you save the machining
positions to a plain-language program, the TNC
creates a separate linear block with cycle call for
every machining position (L X... Y... M99). You can
also transfer this program to old TNC controls and run
it there.
 Confirm the entry: The TNC saves the contour
program in the directory in which the DXF file is also
saved
 If you want to select more machining positions in
order to save them to a different file, press the Cancel
selected elements icon and select as described
above
