different contours.

Notes on entering
contours
• Straight line/Circle or Chamfer/Radius?
You can use a transition element whenever the two adjoining
elements form an intersection point which can be calculated from
the input values. Otherwise, you must use the contour elements
Straight line/Circle.
• Input value has already been calculated!
If a contour is overdefined, a value to be entered may already have
been calculated from other values.
Problems can result if the dimensions entered are inexact and an
input value which should be precise does not correspond to the
calculated value. In this case, values from which the value to be
entered has been calculated must be deleted again. You can then
enter the precise value.
