Selecting and saving a contour

Operating notes:
This function is not available if option 42 is not
enabled.
Specify the direction of rotation during contour
selection so that it matches the desired machining
direction.
Select the first contour element such that approach
without collision is possible.
If the contour elements are very close to one another,
use the zoom function.
The following elements can be selected as a contour:
Line segment
Circle
Circular arc
Polyline
Any curves (e.g., splines, ellipses)
Element information
In the Element Information window the control displays a range of
information about the last contour element you selected in the List
View window or in the Graphics window.
Layer: specifies the active plane
Type: specifies the type of element (e.g., line)
Coordinates: specify the starting point and end point of an
element, and the circle center and radius where appropriate
Ensure that the unit of measure used in the NC program
matches with that used in the CAD-Viewer. Elements
that have been copied from the CAD-Viewer to the
clipboard do not contain any information about the unit of
measure.
