Defining the datum
The workpiece preset is not always located in a manner that lets
you machine the entire part. Therefore, the control has a function
with which you can define a new datum and a tilting operation. You
can also define the orientation of the coordinate system.
The datum with the orientation of the coordinate system can be
defined at the same positions as a preset.
Further information: "Setting a preset", page 340
The datum and its optional orientation can be inserted
as comments in the NC program by using the TRANS
DATUM AXIS function for the datum and the PLANE
VECTOR function for the orientation.

The control indicates possible locations for the
datum on the selected element with stars.

The control sets the preset symbol at the
selected location.
You can adjust the orientation of the coordinate
system, if required.

of the coordinate system", page 343
