6.7 Saving the contour
Saving the generated contour in the simulation
You can save a contour generated in the simulation and read it into
smart.Turn. In smart.Turn, you insert into the program the workpiece
blank and finished part contour that you generated during simulation.
Select the "Insert contour" function on the "ICP" menu.
Example: You describe the blank form and finished part and simulate
machining of the first setup. Then you save the machined contour and
use it for the second setup.
During contour generation, the simulation saves:
 BLANK: The simulated contour's state of progress
 FINISHED PART: The programmed finished part
The simulation takes into account a shift of the workpiece zero point
and/or a mirror image.
Saving the contour:
 Select "miscellaneous functions" soft key
 Select the "Misc." menu
 Select the "Save contour" menu
 The control opens a dialog box enabling you to define the following
input fields:
 Unit: Contour description metric or in inches
 Shift: Shifting the workpiece zero point
 Mirroring: Mirror/do not mirror the contours
