Mirror writing
Programming engraving in the "End face rear" or "Peripheral surface
inner" machining planes produces mirrored text. To obtain normal text
here, you must first program mirroring (see "Defining the coordinate
transformations") and then the "Engraving" function.
Please note that before mirroring you are in the machining plane in
which you want to engrave. (To change the machining plane, see
"Selecting the tool and the machining plane".)
To engrave mirrored text in the "End face front" and "Peripheral
surface outer" machining planes, first program mirroring and then
enter the normal text in the "Engraving" function.
Full circle
To distribute the characters evenly around a full circle, there is no
need to calculate the arc angle α2 between the first and the last
character; instead simply enter α2=360°. ShopTurn then distributes
the characters evenly around the full circle.
