Scale Factor
The scale factor may be used to scale the part up or down. A scale
factor of 1.0 creates a part with the exact size as dimensioned on the
print. A scale factor >1 “grows” the part, and <1 “shrinks” the part.
The following probing soft key functions are available:
„
The numeric keys are used to enter a number greater than zero. The
number range is 0.1000 to 10.000. A negative value may also
be entered.
„
The scale factor settings will be retained on a power cycle.
„
When the scale factor is a value other than 1, the scaling symbol
is shown on the axis display.
„
The ON/OFF soft key is used to disable the current scale factors.
Mirroring a part
Edge Finder (milling applications only)
The diameter, length offset and units of the edge finder are set in this
form. Both values are in the units indicated in the form. Please see
"Probing Functions for Datum Setting" on page 20 for details on using
Edge Finder functions.
„
The numeric keys are used to enter values of diameter and length.
The diameter must be greater than zero. The length is a sign value
(negative, or positive).
„
A soft key is provided to indicate the units of measure for the
edge finder.
„
The edge finder values will be retained on a power cycle.
A scale factor of -1.00 will produce a mirror image of the
part. You can both mirror and scale a part at the
same time.
