target directory 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,

Cancel Selected Elements soft key and select the

The TNC also transfers two workpiece-blank
definitions () to the contour program. The first
definition contains the dimensions of the entire
DXF 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.
