Parameterize contour element

Functionality
The following softkeys are provided for programming the contour on the basis of preassigned
parameters:
Tangent to preceding element
The "Tangent preced. elem." softkey presets the angle α2 to a value of 0. The contour
element has a tangential transition to the preceding element, i.e. the angle to the preceding
element (α2) is set to 0 degrees.
Display additional parameters
If your drawing contains further data (dimensions) for a contour element, select the "All
parameters" softkey to extend the range of input options for the element.
The "Alternative" softkey is displayed only in cases where the cursor is positioned on an
input field with several switchover settings.
Select dialog
Some parameter configurations can produce several different contour characteristics. In
such cases, you will be asked to select a dialog. By clicking the "Select dialog" softkey, you
can display the available selection options in the graphic display area.
Select the "Select dialog" softkey to make the correct selection (green line). Confirm your
choice with the "Accept dialog" softkey.
Change a selected dialog
If you want to change an existing dialog selection, you must select the contour element in
which the dialog was originally chosen. Both alternatives are displayed again when you
select the "Change selection" softkey.
You can select another dialog.
Clear a parameter input field
You can delete the value in the selected parameter input field with the DEL key or "Delete
value" softkey.
