• LINEAR Y MOTION—select this checkbox to cause Y-Axis Motion using the X
and X’ axes. When this checkbox is clear, Y-Axis Motion occurs using the X
and C axes. Please refer to Programming Coordinates and Linear Y Motion, on
page 2 - 68 for examples. This field is available with TMX MY and TMX MYS
series machines.
• X START—defines the X start coordinate on an XY plane.
• Y START—defines the Y start coordinate on an XY plane.
• CORNER RADIUS—defines the radius of all corners of the polygon.

• Z START—defines the location where Plunge Feedrate begins. The feedrate is
set in the Plunge Feed field in the Process tab.
• Z BOTTOM—accesses selections for the bottom of the slot and the location
where the Plunge Feed Rate ends.
These fields are read-only and are carried over from Tool Setup for the tool specified in
the Process tab.
• TOOL—identifies the tool number that will be used in the part program.
• TOOL OFFSETS—identifies the tool offset and orientation programmed in
Tool Setup that will be used. The tool offset defaults to the same number as
the tool.
• TOOL DIAMETER—contains the tool diameter programmed in Tool Setup for
the current tool. This field is read-only and can only be edited in Tool Setup.
Linear Y-Axis Motion is limited. The amount of Y travel is affected by
the X position and by any X-Axis tool length offset.
