6.3.4 Integrating a ContourTrain
You can program frequently occurring contour trains
once and integrate them once as a series (row) in the
contour. Integrated contour trains are part of the
contour.
The contour trains (overlay elements)
■ Circular arc
■ Wedge
■ Pontoon
are predefined. You can describe complex contours
like a finished part contour. To be able to use a contour
train in different programs, save the respective
contour train.
Overlay elements superimpose existing linear or
circular contour elements (supporting contour
elements).
