1. Activate the calculator when you are in any input screen.
2. Open the lower-level menu for contour elements selection.
3. Select the desired calculation function.
This function calculates the missing end point of the straight line/straight
line contour section whereby the second straight line stands vertically on
the first straight line.
Press this softkey to define the given end point when the
ordinate value is given.
Press this softkey to define the given end point when the
abscissa value is given.
Press this softkey to define the second straight line which is
rotated counter-clockwise by 90 degrees against the first
straight line.
Press this softkey to define the second straight line which is
rotated clockwise by 90 degrees against the first straight
line.
4. Enter the PP coordinates, angle A, EP abscissa / ordinate, and L length in
the respective input fields. The following values of the straight line are
known:
Straight line 1: Starting point and slope angle
Straight line 2: Length and one end point in the Cartesian coordinate
system
5. Press this softkey to calculate the missing end point.
The abscissa value is displayed in the input field from which the calculator
function has been called, and the value of the ordinate is displayed in the
next input field. If the function is called from the part program editor, the
coordinates are saved with the axis names of the selected basic plane.
