This 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 degree.
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.
This softkey is displayed only in cases where the cursor is positioned on an input field with several
switchover settings.
Some parameter configurations can produce several different contour characteristics. In such cas-
es, you will be asked to select a dialog. By clicking this softkey, you can display the available selec-
tion options in the graphic display area. Select this softkey to make the correct selection (green
line).
Confirm your choice with this softkey.
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 this softkey.
You can delete the value in the selected parameter input field with this softkey or the following key:
