Save the selected contour elements to the

clipboard of the TNC so that you can then insert

the contour in a plain-language program, or
To save the selected contour elements in a plain-

language program, enter any file name and the

target directory 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. As an alternative,

you can also select the file type: Plain-language
program (

.H) or contour description (.HC)

Confirm the entry: The TNC saves the contour

program to the selected directory
If you want to select more contours, press the

Cancel Selected Elements soft key and select the

next contour as described above.

The TNC also transfers two workpiece-blank

definitions () to the contour program. The first

definition contains the dimensions of the entire

DXF file. The second one, which is the active one,

contains only the selected contour elements, so that

an optimized size of the workpiece blank results.
The TNC only saves elements that have actually been

selected (blue elements), which means that they

have been given a check mark in the left window.
