2.2  2.2 Dimensional information for transverse axes 
Transverse axes can be programed with respect to both diameter and radius. Generally, 
they are diameter-related, i.e. programmed with doubled path dimension so that the 
corresponding dimensional information can be transferred to the part program directly from 
the technical drawings.

Switching the diameter programming on/off 
The diameter programming is switched on/off with the part program instructions: 
•  DIAMON: Diameter programming ON 
•  DIAMOF: Diameter programming OFF, in other words, radius programming ON 
•  DIAM90: Diameter or radius programming depending on the reference mode: 
– Diameter programming ON in connection with absolute dimensioning G90 
– Radius programming ON in connection with incremental dimensioning G91 
Reference is made exclusively to the transverse axis of the channel. 
DIAMON, DIAMOF and DIAM90 belong to G group 29 and are modally operative. 
Initial setting 
The initial setting is configured with: 
MD20150 $MN_GCODE_RESET_VALUES [28] (initial setting of the G groups) 
Diameter-related data 
After activation of the diameter programming, the following data refer to diameter 
dimensions:
