Exporting contours from graphical programming

Application

The Export column in the Contour graphics workspace allows you to export newly created or graphically edited contours.

Description of function

  • The Export column provides the following functions:
  • Contour starting point
  • Use this function to define the Contour starting point. You can either set the Contour starting point graphically or enter an axis value. If you enter an axis value, the control automatically determines the second axis value.

  • Contour end point
  • Use this function to define the Contour end point. You can set the Contour end point in the same way as the Contour starting point.

  • Invert direction
  • Use this function to change the programming direction of the contour.

  • Generate Klartext
  • Use this function to export the contour as an NC program or subprogram. The control can only export certain path functions. All generated contours contain absolute Cartesian coordinates.
