Operation Manual
Entering the Lines
Press the CALC key on the front display panel to enter the GeoCalc screen. Press the
LINE key and construct the line from A to D. Although we will mill this line in the other
direction (towards the datum), in the GeoCalc, a line is just a line, and its direction
doesn’t matter.
Here’s how we do it:
•
We know the start point: X = 0 , Y = 0 .
•
We know the angle of the line from the datum is 70
°
. In the TO field, press the
POLAR softkey. The field now looks like
this:
•
The polar coordinates are R2 (radius) and A2 (angle).
•
We don’t know the length of the line, but GeoCalc
doesn’t need it. Just guess and put in 5, which appears
to be longer than we need.
•
Go down to the A2 field and enter 70
° .
•
Press USE and the line is drawn.
“From the datum”
means we can use
absolute
dimensioning.
