HEIDENHAIN CNC PILOT 640 387
5.4 Creating an ICP contour
Selection of solutions
If the data entered for unresolved contour elements permit several
possible solutions, you can check all mathematically possible solutions
with the Next solution / Previous solution soft keys. You then
confirm the correct solution by soft key.
Colors in contour graphics
Resolved and unresolved contour elements as well as selected
contour elements, selected contour corners, and remaining contours
are depicted in different colors. (The selection of contour elements /
contour corners and remaining contours is important when you are
editing ICP contours.)
Colors:
 White: Workpiece blank contour, auxiliary blank contour
 Yellow: Finished part contours (turned contours, contour for C and Y
axis machining)
 Blue: Auxiliary contours
 Gray: For unresolved or incorrect but displayable elements
 Red: Selected solution, selected element or selected corner
If the contour still contains unsolved contour elements
when you exit the editing mode, the CNC PILOT will ask
you whether to discard these elements.
