Creating the shape
 Touch the Select button from the bottom button
menu.
 Select the bottom line between the two arc’s.
 Notice that a small circle appears at the end of the line. This circle
appears on the closest end to where the line was touched on. This
represents the start point of the shape.
 Select the geometry on the other side of the circle. This selects all
connected geometry completing the tool path.
 All geometry is now yellow in color, and is considered a shape, (or
contour).
 Touch Ok to accept adding a machining side to the shape.
 Exit out of CAM to save the program.
