Notes
• The HMI Advanced or HMI Embedded (standard) target system,
ShopMill, ShopTurn or ManualTurn must be defined before the
contour is traced.
• When ShopMill or ShopTurn is defined as the target system, you
are prompted to enter a contour name before the contour is
traced.
• Please observe the boundary conditions applicable to the relevant
target system. This applies in particular to the number of contour
elements as regards the geometry processor or cycles.
