The assignment of the tool lengths 1 to 3 to the geometry axes for turning tools (tool types
500 to 599) results from the value of the setting data SD42940 in accordance with the
following table:

*) Each value not equal to 0 which is not equal to one of the six listed values is evaluated as
the value for 18.
With respect to the values with a negative sign the assignment of length 3 is identical, length
1 and 2 are exchanged - compared to the assignment with the corresponding positive
values.
The following table shows the assignment of the tool lengths 1 to 3 to the geometry axes for

Note
For representation in tables, it is assumed that geometry axes 1 to 3 are named X, Y, Z. The
axis order (1st, 2nd and 3rd geometry axis) and not the axis identifier determines the
assignment between an offset and an axis.
