Swapping axes
With the axis swapping function you can adapt the axes programmed
in any NC program to your machine's axis configuration or to the
respective clamping situation.
After activation of the axis swapping function, all
subsequent transformations are applied to the swapped
axes.
Be sure to swap the axes appropriately. Otherwise the
TNC will display error messages.
Remember that you may have to return to the contour
after activation of this function. The TNC then
automatically calls the return-to-contour menu after the
form is closed (see "Returning to the contour" on page
532).
