Setting The Tolerance - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Operating Manual

5.16.3.2

Setting the tolerance

To allow even inaccurately created drawings to be used, i.e. to compensate for gaps in the
geometry, you can enter a snap radius in millimeters. This relates elements.
Note
Large snap radius
The larger that the snap radius is set, the larger the number of available following elements.
Procedure
5.16.3.3 Specifying a reference point
Because the zero point of the DXF file normally differs from the zero point of the CAD
drawing, specify a reference point.
