5.5 Path Contours - Polar Coordinates
Circular path CTP with tangential connection
The tool moves on a circular path, starting tangentially (at 0) from a
preceding contour element (0 to 0).
Input:
l
Polar coordinate angle PA of the arc end point @
l
Polar coordinate radius PR of the arc end point @

Select polar coordinates.
Enter the distance from the pole to the arc end point, for example
PR = 10 mm.
