Reference point
Reference points are commonly used to identify center points,
tangent points, and other part features. They can even be used as
the basis for incremental moves.
As you program, note that placing a reference point in a continuous
tool path will break the path. Otherwise, reference points do not
affect your program's performance in any way in fact, the control
will skip over them altogether when you run a program.
To program a reference point:
From the PGM screen, press the Program Steps soft key
Press the Other Steps soft key
Select Reference Point in the popup menu
Enter your reference point’s position for X and Z
Press the USE key
The reference point will show graphically at the programmed
location
