•If the Lines softkey is selected, the cutter compensated lines and arcs are
joined as described below:
• Two line segments are extended until they intersect (provided they
form a 90° or greater angle). If the lines form an angle of less than
90°, a line is inserted to connect them.
• Line and arc segments have the line segment extended, and a tangent
line to the arc segment inserted and extended until the lines intersect
(provided they form a 90° or greater angle). If the segments form an
angle of less than 90°, a line is inserted to connect them.
• Two arc segments have tangent lines (to the arcs) inserted and
extended until the lines intersect (provided the extended tangent lines
form a 90° or greater angle). If the extended tangent lines form an
angle of less than 90°, a line or arc is inserted to connect them.
