(2) The figure need not show monotone increase or decrease in the
direction of the second axis on the plane (X-axis for the ZX
plane) and it may have concaves (pockets).

The figure must show monotone change in the direction of the
first axis on the plane (Z-axis for the ZX plane), however. The
following figure cannot be machined.
Monotone change is not
observed along the Z-
axis.

CAUTION
For a figure along which the tool moves backward
along the first axis on the plane during cutting
operation (including a vertex in an arc command),
the cutting tool may contact the workpiece. For this
reason, for a figure which does not show monotone
change, alarm PS0064 or PS0329 is issued. If the
movement does not show monotone change, but is
very small, and it can be determined that the
movement is not dangerous, however, the
permissible amount can be specified in parameter
No. 5145 to specify that the alarm is not issued in
this case.
The first cut portion need not be vertical. Any figure is
permitted if monotone change is shown in the direction of the
first axis on the plane (Z-axis for the ZX plane).
