With the QuickView functions and the QuickPath Plus section, dimensions
from part drawings can be used directly to create a part program. The
sample patterns a vailable with the QuickPath Plus prompts are summarized
below.
{CIR ANG PT} The arc radius and thetaper angle ofa line are knownforthe geometry from
an arc totheline. R (Radius),,A(Angleindegrees),G (02 forclockwise03
for counterclockwise)and the coordinatesofthe endpoint.
{CIR CIR} The coordinatesofthearccentersare known forthegeometryfroman arcto
another arc.
{ANGCIRPT} Thetaperangleofa line and the arcradiusareknown forthegeometryfrom
thelinetoanarc.
{1ANG PT} Thetaperangleand eitheroftheend pointcoordinate values are knownfor
thedefinitionof aline.
{2ANG 1PT} The anglesoftwo taperedlinesareknown fordefining two successive ta-
peredlines.
{2ANG 1PT R} The anglesoftwo taperedlines are known fordefiningtwo linesjoinedby an
arc.
{2PT R} The intersection pointoftwolinesareknownfordefining two lines joined by
an arc.
{2ANG 1PT C} The anglesoftwo taperedlines are known fordefiningtwo linesjoinedby a
chamfer.
{2PT C} The intersection pointoftwolinesareknownfordefining two lines joined bya
chamfer.
{2ANG 2PT R} The taperangles oftwotapered linesand twoarcradiiareknown fordefining
three lines joined byand tangenttotwoarcs.
