5.7.2 Creating Contours with the PROFIL Function
The PROFIL function allows you to create contours within a part programme using a sequence of geometric elements.
The contours created are stored at the end of the part programme and are executed by calls to subroutines.
The PROFIL function is accessed from the programme editor in background mode (See 5.9.1).
Options are available by softkeys F1 to F12, and the contour is displayed graphically while being drawn.
This section describes access to the PROFIL function. This function is described in detail in the PROFIL function
operator manual.
