Contour selection, saving a contour program
You must use the touchpad on the TNC keyboard or a
mouse attached via the USB port in order to select a
contour.
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.
U

layers shown in the left window, and the right window
becomes active for contour selection.
U To select a contour element, click the desired contour
element with the left mouse button. The selected contour
element turns blue. At the same time, the TNC marks the
selected element with a symbol (circle or line) in the left
window.
U
To select the next contour element, click the desired contour
element with the left mouse button. The selected contour
element turns blue. If further contour elements in the
selected machining sequence are clearly selectable, these
elements turn green. Click on the last green element to
assume all elements into the contour program. The TNC
shows all selected contour elements in the left window. The
TNC displays elements that are still green in the NC column
without a check mark. The TNC does not save these
elements to the contour program
U If necessary you can also deselect elements that you already
selected, by clicking the element in the right window again,
but this time while pressing the CTRL key.
