Enter the dimensions of the blank and the parameter, which areeffective over the complete program, e.g. dimension units in mm orinch, tool axis, retraction plane, safety clearance and machiningdirection.Press the "Teach TC position" softkey if you want to set the actualposition of the tool as a tool change point.The tool’s coordinates are transferred into parameters XT and ZT.Teaching in the tool change point is only possible if you have selectedthe machine coordinate system (Machine).7. Press the "Accept" softkey.The process plan is displayed. Program header and end of program arecreated as program blocks.The end of program is automatically defined.The retraction for a cycle ends at the safety clearance. Only the subsequent cycle moves tothe retraction plane. This enables a special approach/retraction cycle to be used.Changes to the retraction plane therefore take effect when retracting from the previousmachining operation.When selecting the traversing paths, the tool tip is always taken into account; i.e. the toolexpansion is not considered. Therefore, you should ensure that the retraction planes are anappropriate distance away from the workpiece.See alsoChanging program settings (Page 248)Programming the approach/retraction cycle (Page 258)Creating a new workpiece (Page 704)
