Functionality
Free contour programming is a support tool for the editor. The contour programming function
enables you to create simple and complex contours.
A contour program editor (FCI) calculates any missing parameters for you as soon as they
can be obtained from other parameters. You can link together contour elements. Additional
contour transition elements are also available.
The programmed contours are transferred to the edited part program.
Note
The display MD 290 $MA CTM_POS_COORDINATE_SYSTEM defines the display of the
coordinate system.
A value of 7 means:
Ordinate = Y axis
Abscissa = Z axis
Technology

purpose:
