"RECTANGLE" softkey
Follow these steps after pressing this softkey:
1. Place the cursor on one of the corners of the rectangle and press [ENTER] to validate it.
2. Move the cursor to the opposite corner; the CNC will continuously show the rectangle being
drawn.
3. Press [ENTER] to validate the rectangle or [ESC] to cancel it.
Repeat these steps to draw more rectangles. If no more rectangles are desired, press [ESC] to return
to the previous menu.
"CIRCLE" softkey
Follow these steps after pressing this softkey:
1. Place the cursor at the center of the circle and press [ENTER] to validate it.
2. Move the cursor in order to define the radius. As the cursor moves, the CNC will show the circle
corresponding to that radius.
3. Press [ENTER] to validate the circle or [ESC] to cancel it.
Once the circle is validated, the cursor is positioned at its center in order to facilitate the drawing
of concentric circles.
Repeat these steps to draw more circles. If no more circles are desired, press [ESC] to return to
the previous menu.
"ARC" softkey
Follow these steps after pressing this softkey:
1. Place the cursor at one of the arc's ends and press [ENTER] to validate it.
2. Move the cursor to the other end of the arc (the CNC will show a line joining both ends) and press
[ENTER] to validate it.
Once both ends of the arc have been validated, the cursor is positioned in the center of the
straight line that joins them.
3. Move the cursor to define the curvature. The line will become an arc passing through 3 points
(the two ends and the cursor point).
4. Press [ENTER] to validate the arc or [ESC] to cancel it.
Repeat these steps to draw more arcs. If no more arcs are desired, press [ESC] to return to the
previous menu.
"POLYLINE" softkey
A polyline consists of several lines where the last point of one of them is the beginning point for the
next one.
Follow these steps after pressing this softkey:
1. Place the cursor at one of the ends of the polyline and press [ENTER] to validate it.
2. Move the cursor to the end of the first line (which will be the beginning of the next one). The CNC
will continuously show the line being drawn.
Press [ENTER] to validate the line or [ESC] to quit this option (which will delete the complete
polyline).
3. Repeat step 2 for the remaining lines.
Note that the maximum number of straight lines in a polyline is 127.
Once the polyline is drawn, press [ENTER] again to validate it or [ESC] to quit this option deleting
the complete polyline.
