Blank definition
Cylinder: The cylinder's dimensions can be entered in absolute values
or incrementally as allowance in relation to the smallest possible
cylinder that can be positioned around the contour.
For inside contours, the blank cylinder is typically equivalent to the
drill-hole diameter.
Allowance: The allowance for the finished-part contour is specified
incrementally.
Contour: The blank contour must be defined as a separate closed
contour definition before the finished-part contour.
