Tangent to preceding
element
When entering data for a contour element you can program the
transition to the preceding element as a tangent.
Tangent to
prec. elem.
îš¾ Press the "Tangent to prec. elem." softkey.
The angle to the preceding element α2 is set to 0°. The "tangential"
selection appears in the parameter input field.
Selecting a dialog
When entering data for a contour element, there may be two different
contour options, one of which you have to select.
Select
dialog
îš¾ Press the "Select dialog" softkey to switch between the two
different contour options.
The selected contour appears in the graphics window as a solid black
line and the alternative contour appears as a dashed green line.
Accept
dialog
îš¾ Press the "Accept dialog" softkey to accept the chosen
alternative.
Closing the contour
A contour always has to be closed. If you do not wish to create all
contour elements from starting point to starting point, you can close
the contour from the current position to the starting point.
Continue
Close
contour
îš¾ Press the "Continue" and "Close contour" softkeys.
ShopMill inserts a straight line between your current position and the
starting point.
