Prompts Used to Define the Events
The following prompts are encountered in programming the events.
# Holes
- the number of holes in the bolt hole pattern.
Angle
- the location of the first hole to be machined in a Bolt Hole event. It is
the angle from the positive X axis (that is, 3 o'clock) to the hole. The positive
angle is measured counterclockwise from 0.000 to 359.999 degrees. The angle
of rotation in subroutine and copy events.
Conrad
- There are two meanings to Conrad:
