Closing the contour
The contour of the part will now be closed, and all milling steps
entered will be one continuous machining operation.
 Press the LINE key.
As MILLPWR
G2
assumes that you are continuing from where it was
left off, all fields are filled in except for the TO: fields. Which is also
where the cursor is located in the first TO: field.
Using the numerical keypad, enter the following information:
 In the TO: X2 field enter -3.0, and ARROW Down.
 In the TO: Y2 field enter 1.5.
 Press the USE key.
The contour of the part is now complete. You may notice that the tool
path shows a double radius where the tool started, and then ended.
This is because the program is dimensioning the center of the tool.
The continuous line along the program steps has now
changed to a closed rectangle. This represents that the
contour is now closed. This happens when the TO point
of the last step is the same as the FROM point of the first
step.
