13.9 Geometric Command
Function and purpose
When it is difficult to find the intersection point of two straight lines with a continuous linear
interpolation command, this point can be calculated automatically by programming the command
for the angle of the straight lines.

) formed between straight line
and horizontal axis on plane.
The plane is the selected plane at this
time.
(Note 1)
This function cannot be used when using the A axis or 2nd miscellaneous function A.
