11.1 Fundamentals
Overview
Once a contour has been programmed, you can position it on the
workpiece at various locations and in different sizes through the use
of coordinate transformations. The TNC provides the following
coordinate transformation cycles:

7 DATUM SHIFT
For shifting contours directly within the
program or from datum tables
