11.5 Global Program Settings
(software option)
Application
The global program settings, which are used in particular for large
molds and dies, are available in the Program Run mode and MDI
mode. You can use them to define various coordinate transformations
and settings that are globally effective and are superimposed on the
respectively selected NC program so that you do not need to edit the
NC program.
You can activate and deactivate global program settings, even in mid-
program if you have interrupted the program run (see "Interrupting
machining" on page 553). The TNC immediately accounts for the
values you have defined after you have restarted the NC program. The
control might move to the new position over the reapproach menu
(see "Returning to the contour" on page 560).
The following global program settings are available:
