Multiple feet results

Foot corrections

Foot corrections in a multiple feet machine are viewed from the result screen.

If results are displayed in 3D, tap the machine (

1

) to access the results multiple feet screen.

In 2D, the multiple feet screen is accessed by tapping the machine centerline (

1

).

Note

If the machine intermediate feet were already defined within machine properties, then
the foot corrections for the intermediate feet will be displayed. In the following
example, the intermediate feet have not been defined.                           

Tap

to add any intermediate feet.
