5.16 Loading existing contours

Integrating cycle contours in smart.Turn

ICP contours that you have created for cycle programs can be

loaded in smart.Turn. ICP converts the contours into G commands and

integrates them in the smart.Turn program. The contour is now part of

the smart.Turn program.

The ICP editor considers the type of contour. For example, you can

load a contour defined for the face only if you have selected the face

(C axis) in smart.Turn.

Activate the ICP editor.

Press the Contour list soft key. The ICP editor

opens the window "Selection of ICP contours."

Press the Next file type soft key until the cycle

contours are displayed (see file extension table at

right).

Select the file.

Load the selected file.

 Blank or finished part contour: Supplement or adapt the

contour, if necessary.

 C-axis contour: Complete the reference data.
