Geometry
Defining Geometry:
Geometry items are the basic element of CAM programming. Shapes
are created from geometry and tool paths are generated from these
shapes.
To define geometry, the applicable button from the Geometry Tools
in the main Toolbar must be selected. See "Geometry Toolbar
buttons:" on page 280.
Selection example:
Select the Circle button from the Geometry Tools in
the main Toolbar.
Select the Create Circle button for the method to be
used to define the geometry from the side Toolbar.
Insert the required data in the dialogue fields on the automatic
pop-up dialogue.
Data input example:
Start “X” field input 0.0.
Start “Y” field input 0.0.
Radius field input 0.5.
Select either the Use, or Enter buttons.
The geometry of a 1.00” circle has now been created, located at X -
0.0, and Y - 0.0 .
