System variable $TC_DPV[t, d]
The purpose of system variable $TC_DPV[t, d] is to allow the simple specification of certain
basic orientations (parallel to coordinate axes) that are required frequently. The permissible
values are shown in the table below. The values in the first and second/third columns are
equivalent.
Basic orientation $TC_DPV[t, d]

$TC_DPV3[t, d],) **

$TC_DPV4[t, d],) **
1 (0, 0, V) (0, V, 0)
2 (0, V, 0) (0, 0, V)
3 (V, 0, 0) (V, 0, 0)
4 (0, 0, -V) (0, -V, 0)
5 (0, -V, 0) (0, 0, -V)
6 (-V, 0, 0) (-V, 0, 0)
* Turning tools in this context are any tools whose tool type ($TC_DP1[t, d]) is between 400 and
599. All other tool types refer to milling tools.
** If all three values $TC_DPV3[t, d], $TC_DPV4[t, d], $TC_DPV5[t, d] are equal to zero in this
case, the tool orientation is determined by the active machining plane (default).
V Stands for a positive value in the corresponding system variables.
Example:
For milling tools:
$TC_DPV[t, d] = 2 is equal to:
$TC_DPV3[t, d] = 0, $TC_DPV4[t, d] = 0, $TC_DPV5[t, d] = V.
