3) Figure element copy function
Having specified the start and end points of the figure to be copied,
once the number of copies has been keyed in, it is possible to define
the same figure repeatedly. This is useful when repeatedly inputting
special groove figures and complicated circular figures.
In the case illustrated above, when the soft key “PATTRN INPUT” is
pressed followed by “FIGURE COPY”, the following copy area
specification screen appears. Note however that when the “PATTRN
INPUT” key is pressed, the cursor must be next to the very last element,
as illustrated above.When the cursor has been moved by corrections to
element data etc., press the “FIGURE COPY” only after having made sure
to move the cursor next to the very last element. If the “FIGURE COPY”
key is pressed when the cursor is at an element other than the final one,
an error message will be displayed saying “CAN NOT USE THIS
FUNCTION” and the copy area specification screen will not appear.
