Cycles for Coordinate Transformations
Cycles for Coordinate Transformation
Cycles for coordinate transformation permit contours to be
Shifted Cycle 7 DATUM SHIFT
Mirrored Cycle 8 MIRROR IMAGE
Rotated (in the plane) Cycle 10 ROTATION
Enlarged or reduced Cycle 11 SCALING
Cycles for coordinate transformation are effective upon definition until
they are reset or redefined. The original contour should be defined in a
subprogram. Input values can be both absolute and incremental.
DATUM SHIFT
CYCL DEF: Select Cycle 7 DATUM SHIFT
Enter the coordinates of the new datum
To cancel a datum shift: Re-enter the cycle definition with the input
value 0.
9 CALL LBL1 Call the part subprogram
10 CYCL DEF 7.0 DATUM SHIFT
11 CYCL DEF 7.1 X+60
12 CYCL DEF 7.2 Y+40
13 CALL LBL1 Call the part subprogram
When combining transformations, the datum shift must be
programmed before the other transformations.
