Selecting and saving machining positions

You must use the touchpad on the TNC keyboard or a
mouse attached via the USB port in order to select a
machining position.
If the positions to be selected are very close to one
another, use the zoom function.
If required, configure the basic settings so that the
TNC shows the tool paths.
Further Information:
Three possibilities are available in the pattern generator for defining
machining positions:
Single selection: You select the desired machining position
through individual mouse clicks.
Further Information:
Rapid selection of hole positions with the mouse area: By
dragging the mouse to define an area, you can select all the
hole positions within this area.
Further Information:

Quick selection of hole positions via an icon: Actuate the icon
and the TNC then displays all existing hole diameters.

Select the file type
The following file types are available:
Point table (.PNT)
Conversational program (.H)
If you save the machining positions to a conversational program,
the TNC creates a separate linear block with a cycle call for each
machining position (L X... Y... M99). You can also transfer this
program to old TNC controls and run it there.
The point table (.PTN) on the TNC 640 and the iTNC
530 are not compatible. Transferring and processing
on the other control type in each case may lead to
problems and unforeseen performance.
