Interactive graphics during FK programming
You can use two-dimensional contour-line graphics
as an aid during FK programming. The screen
shows the contour elements as you program them
and offers you possible solutions when the contour
is not yet fully defined.
The programmed contour elements are displayed
according to their stage of definition:
Broken line: The entered data do not suffice to
start a calculation of the contour or
contour element.

If the entered data apply for more than one solution, the following soft
keys appear:
Show possible solutions described by the
entered data
Run the next block
Select a solution that matches the workpiece
drawing
Enter data for subsequent contour elements
If the entered data describe more than one solution, you should select the
correct solution with FSELECT as soon as possible.
Movements in the negative tool axis direction are displayed as a circle
(circle diameter = tool diameter).
