Display all parameters
Press this softkey to display a selection list of all the parameters for the selected contour
element. If you leave any parameter input fields blank, the control assumes that you do not
know the right values and attempts to calculate these from the settings of the other
parameters. The contour is always machined in the programmed direction.
Input switchover
This softkey is displayed only in cases where the cursor is positioned on an input field with
several switchover settings.

available selection options in the graphic display area.

following softkey:
