Programming an Arc
 Press the ARC key. The cursor defaults to the TO: X1
field in the MILL ARC dialogue.
MILLPWR G2 assumes that the program is continuing from the last
step, so it automatically fills in the FROM: X1, and Y1 fields, the
Z: fields, TOOL: fields, FEED: fields, and the OFFSET field.
Using the numerical keypad, enter the following information:
 In the TO: X2 field enter 0, and ARROW Down.
 In the TO: Y2 field enter -1.5, and ARROW Down.
 In the RADIUS: MINOR field enter 1.5 and ARROW Down.
 In the DIRECTION: field, press the CW soft key.
Since this arc will be starting at the top and moving out, and around to
the bottom, the arc will be machined in a clockwise direction.
 Press the USE key.
Saving the program:
At this point, enough information has been entered that the program
can be saved and given a name.
 Press the Save / Discard soft key.
 Select Save from the popup menu.
 Enter the program name in the popup keyboard using the ARROW
keys. Name the program DemonstrationProgram.MPT. See
"Saving a Program" on page 93 in the previous chapter for more
information.
