The TNC hides the layers shown in the left window,
and the right window becomes active for position
selection.
U Press the shift key on the keyboard and drag the left
mouse key to define an area in which the TNC is to
adopt all included circle centers as hole positions: the
TNC opens a window in which you can filter the holes
by size.
U Configure the filter settings (see “Filter settings” on
page 232) and click the Use button to confirm: The
TNC loads the selected positions into the left window
(displays a point symbol).
U If necessary you can also deselect elements that you
already selected, by dragging an area open again, but
this time while pressing the CTRL key.
U To save the selected machining positions in a points
file, enter any file name in the pop-up window
displayed by the TNC. Default setting: Name of the
DXF file. If the name of the DXF file contains special
characters or spaces, the TNC replaces the
characters with underscores.
U Confirm the entry: The TNC saves the contour
program in the directory in which the DXF file is also
saved.
U If you want to select more machining positions in
order to save them in a different file, press the
CANCEL SELECTED ELEMENTS soft key and select
as described above.
