With absolute dimensions, all position specifications refer to the zero point of the active
coordinate system.

Figure 9-7 Absolute dimensions
The position specifications for the points P1 to P4 in absolute dimensions refer to the zero point:
P1: X25 Z-7.5
P2: X40 Z-15
P3: X40 Z-25
P4: X60 Z-35
Incremental dimensions (INC)
With incremental dimensions (also referred to as sequential dimensions) a position
specification refers to the previously programmed point. This means that the input value
corresponds to the path to be traversed. As a rule, the plus/minus sign does not matter when
entering the incremental value, only the absolute value of the increment is evaluated. For some
parameters, the plus/minus sign specifies the traversing direction. These exceptions are
identified in the parameter table of the individual functions.
