With the TRANS SCALE function, you can scale contours or positions and thus enlarge or reduce these uniformly. This enables you to program shrinkage and oversize allowances, for example.
Use the TRANS SCALE RESET function to reset the scaling.

Scaling is a modal function that is effective as soon as it has been defined in the NC program.
The contour is scaled uniformly in all directions.
The contour is scaled in the positive X and Y axis directions.
The contour is scaled in the negative X and Y axis directions.
If you enter a scaling factor SCL less than 1, the contour will be reduced in size. If you enter a scaling factor SCL greater than 1, the contour will be enlarged.
When scaling, the control takes the coordinate input and dimensions from all cycles into account.
If scaling is active, the control displays it on the TRANS tab of the Status workspace.
NC programs contained in this User's Manual are suggestions for solutions. The NC programs or individual NC blocks must be adapted before being used on a machine.
Some NC programs depend on the machine kinematics. Adapt these NC programs to your machine kinematics before the first test run.
In addition, test the NC programs using the simulation before the actual program run.
With a program test you determine whether the NC program can be used with the available software options, the active machine kinematics and the current machine configuration.
