When the program edited in the contour editor is opened in the program editor, if you position the
editor cursor in a command line of the contour program and then press this softkey, the main
screen of the contour editor opens and you can recompile the existing contour.
When recompiling, only the contour
elements that were generated in the contour editor are created again. Any changes you
made directly in the program text are lost; however, you can subsequently insert and edit user-deinfed texts, which will not
be lost.
When entering a contour, begin at a position which you already know and enter it as the starting point.
