Plane Select Parameters
The control has a number of features that operate in specific planes. For
that reason, it is frequently necessary to change the active plane by using a
G17, G18, or G19. These G-codes may be used to activate 3 primary
planes. These G-codes may also be used to activate up to four parallel
planes to each of the primary planes.
Important: These parameters use the axis names that were assigned in
chapter 3. These axis names should have been determined before any of
the parameters in this chapter are set.
When using parallel planes, only two axes may be selected as parallel to
each of the primary axes in the primary plane.
When you select “Plane Select” from the main menu screen, these screens
become available:
