Overview
Most
PLANE
functions (except
PLANE AXIAL
) can be used to
describe the desired working plane independently of the rotary
axes available on your machine. The following possibilities are
available:
Soft key Function Required parameters Page
SPATIAL
Three spatial angles:
SPA
,
SPB
, and
SPC
540
PROJECTED
Two projection angles:
PROPR
and
PROMIN
and a rotation
angle
ROT
542
EULER
Three Euler angles: precession (
EULPR
), nutation (
EULNU
)
and rotation (
EULROT
),
544
VECTOR
Normal vector for defining the plane and base vector for
defining the direction of the tilted X axis 546
POINTS
Coordinates of any three points in the plane to be tilted 549
RELATIVE
Single, incrementally effective spatial angle 551
AXIAL
Up to three absolute or incremental axis angles

Running an animation
To familiarize yourself with the various definition possibilities of
each
PLANE
function, you can start animated sequences via soft
key. To do so, first enter animation mode and then select the
desired
PLANE
function. While the animation plays, the control
highlights the soft key of the selected
PLANE
function with a blue
color.
