Arbitrary positions (CYCLE802)

Function
The "Arbitrary positions" function allows you to program any positions, i.e. in rectangular or
polar coordinates. Individual positions are approached in the order in which you program them.
Press "Delete all" softkey to delete all positions programmed in X/Y.
Rotary axis
ZC plane
You program in ZC to prevent the Y axis moving during machining.
To ensure that the holes point to the center of the "Cylinder", you must first position the Y axis
centrally above the "Cylinder".
