Geometry Tab
Finishing follows the geometry of the contour defined in the Geometry tab. The fields on
the Geometry tab are defined as follows:
• COORDINATES—defines the coordinates as either Rectangular or Polar.
• Rectangular coordinates are used when working from a flat drawing.
• Polar coordinates move around the cylinder as specified.
The remaining fields appear based on your selection in the Coordinates field (Polar or
Rectangular):
When Polar is selected in the COORDINATES field, these fields appear:
