5.6.2 Creating a new contour
For each contour that you want to mill, you must create a new contour.
The contours are stored at the end of the program.
The first step in creating a contour is to specify a starting point.
ShopTurn automatically defines the end of the contour.
You can enter any additional commands (up to 40 characters) in G
code format for the start point.
If you want to create a contour that is similar to an existing contour,
you can copy the existing one, rename it and just alter selected
contour elements.
In contrast, if you want to use an identical contour at another place in
the program, you must not rename the copy. Changes to the one
contour will then automatically be applied to the other contour with the
same name.
