Overview
Most PLANE functions (except PLANE AXIAL) can be used to
describe the desired working plane independently of the rotary
axes available on your machine. The following possibilities are
available:
Soft key Function Required parameters Page
SPATIAL Three spatial angles: SPA, SPB, and SPC
540
PROJECTED Two projection angles: PROPR and PROMIN and a rotation
angle ROT
542
EULER Three Euler angles: precession (EULPR), nutation (EULNU)
and rotation (EULROT),
544
VECTOR
Normal vector for defining the plane and base vector for
defining the direction of the tilted X axis
546
POINTS
Coordinates of any three points in the plane to be tilted 549
RELATIVE
Single, incrementally effective spatial angle 551
AXIAL Up to three absolute or incremental axis angles A,B,C
552
RESET
Reset the PLANE function 539
Running an animation
To familiarize yourself with the various definition possibilities of
each PLANE function, you can start animated sequences via soft
key. To do so, first enter animation mode and then select the
desired PLANE function. While the animation plays, the control
highlights the soft key of the selected PLANE function with a blue
color.
