Graphical representation
The progress of contour programming is shown in broken-line
graphics while the contour elements are being entered.
Graphical presentation of the contour during contour milling
When the contour element has been created, it can be displayed in
different line styles and colors:
• Black: Programmed contour
• Orange: Current contour element
• Green dashed: Alternative element
• Blue dotted: Partially defined element
The scaling of the coordinate system is adjusted automatically to
match the complete contour.
The position of the coordinate system is displayed in the graphics
window.
