Programmable scale factor: S CALE, A SCALE
Fu n ctionality
A scale factor can be programmed for all axes with SCALE/ASCALE. The path is enlarged or reduced by this factor in the
axis specified. The currently set coordinate system is used as the reference for the scale change.
; Programmable scaling factor, clears the old instructions for offset, rotation, scaling factor,
; Programmable scaling factor, additive to existing instructions
; Without values: clears the old instructions for offset, rotation, scaling factor, mirroring
The instructions which contain SCALE or ASCALE each require a separate block.
Note
For circles, the same factor should be used in both axes.
If ATRANS is programmed with SCALE/ASCALE activ
e, these offset values are also scaled.
See the following illustration for example for scaling and offset:
; Progra mmed contour original
; Contour in X and Y enlarged two time s
; Offset values are a ls o sca led
