Resetting Function Tcpm - HEIDENHAIN TNC 620 User Manual

REFPNT CENTER-CENTER
You can use the REFPNT CENTER-CENTER variant to machine parts
with a tool whose tip is used as a reference point when executing
NC programs generated in a CAD/CAM software where the paths
reference the center of the cutting edge radius instead of the tool
tip.
Previously, this functionality could only be achieved by shortening
the tool with DL. The variant with REFPNT CENTER-CENTER is
advantageous in that the control knows the true tool length .
If you use REFPNT CENTER-CENTER, to program pocket milling
cycles, the control generates an error message.
