Substituting instruction, SCALE X Y Z
You can specify an individual scale factor for each axis, by which the shape is to be reduced
or enlarged. The scale refers to the workpiece coordinate system set with G54 to G57.
Notice
The SCALE command cancels all frame components of the previously activated
programmable frame.

Additive instruction, ASCALE X Y Z
You can program scale changes, which are to be added to existing frames by using the
ASCALE command. In this case, the last valid scale factor is multiplied by the new one.
The currently set or last programmed coordinate system is used as the reference for the
scale change.
