In drilling and milling operations with face B, position patterns "full circle/pitch circle" provide
the following options for machining on inclined surfaces
● with swivel plane
● with C axis
Press the "Drilling" softkey.
Press the "Positions" and "Full circle/pitch c
ircle" softkeys.
Face B on the swivel plane
Z coordinate of the reference point (abs)
X0 X coordinate of the reference point (abs) mm
Y coordinate of the reference point (abs)
α0 Starting angle: Angle of 1st hole with reference to X axis.
Positive angle: Full circle is rotated counterclockwise.
Negative angle: Full circle is rotated in clockwise direction.
Degrees
α 1 Indexing angle: After the first hole has been drilled, all additional positions are
approached at this angle (only for pitch circle).
Positive angle: Additional positions are rotated in counterclockwise direction.
Negative angle: Additional positions are rotated in clockwise direction.

Number of positions on circle
Positioning Straight line: Next position is approached linearly in rapid traverse.
Circular: Next position is approached along a circular path at the feedrate defined
