5.2.11 Box position pattern
You can use this function to program any number of positions spaced
at an equal distance along on a box. The spacing may be different on
both axes.
If you want to program a rhombus-shaped box, enter the angle
αX or
αY.
Positions >
¾ Press the "Drilling", "Positions" and "Line/Matrix/Box" soft keys.
¾ Select the “Box” position pattern in the "Line/Matrix/Box”
parameter field.
