Example: Incremental Dimensions

Let's say that your print looks like this:
Hole 1 is an absolute dimension (measured from the datum), while
Holes 2 and 3 are measured incrementally. By putting
incremental mode for the last two holes, you can measure their
distances just as the print specifies, without any calculations.
1. Press the
ABS/INCR
display. Press the
display is not lit up).
2. For Hole 1, move the table until X = 2.00" and Y = 1.5". Drill
Hole 1.
3. Now press the
DRO display. This tells
distance from the current position to the next point.
4. Press the
ZERO
resets the X- and Y-axes displays at "0."
5. Move the table until X = 2.00" and Y = 0.000". Drill Hole 2.
