Multiple-Axis Machining | The PLANE function: Tilting the working plane (option 8)

Overview

Most PLANE functions (except PLANE AXIAL) can be used to
describe the desired working plane independently of the rotary
axes available on your machine. The following possibilities are
available:
Soft key Function
SPATIAL
PROJECTED
EULER
VECTOR
POINTS
RELATIVE
AXIAL
RESET
Running an animation
To familiarize yourself with the various definition possibilities of
each PLANE function, you can start animated sequences via soft
key. To do so, first enter animation mode and then select the
desired PLANE function. While the animation plays, the control
highlights the soft key of the selected PLANE function with a blue
color.
