7.1.2 Figure Elements Button
The following figure elements buttons are available to define the free
figure.
Nine different figure elements are available.
(1) Straight line X, Z:
It is defined specifying the end coordinates (X,Z).
(2) Straight line X, A:
It is defined specifying the end coordinate X and angle A.
(3) Straight line Z, A:
It is defined specifying the end coordinate Z and angle A.
(4) Counterclockwise circular arc R:
It is defined specifying the end coordinates (X,Z) and radius R.
(5) Counterclockwise circular arc I, K:
It is defined specifying the end coordinates (X,Z) and center
point of the arc (I,K).
(6) Clockwise and circular arc R:
It is defined specifying the end coordinates (X,Z) and radius R.
(7) Clockwise circular arc I,K:
It is defined specifying the end coordinates (X,Z) and center
point of the arc (I,K).
(8) Corner Radius R:
It is defined specifying the radius R of the arc in the corner.
(9) Corner Chamfer C:
It is defined specifying the amount C of chamfer in the corner.
If any of the figure elements button is pushed, then the corresponding
figure element is inserted just below the element where the cursor is
positioned.
NOTE
Angle A is counterclockwise (+) and clockwise(-)
around –Z axis as follows.
