The geometry editor allows you to quickly and easily edit any type of profile made up of straight and circular sections. To edit a geometry, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. STEP 1<\/strong>: Access the geometry editor.<\/li>\n
  2. STEP 2<\/strong>: Create the points and auxiliary lines.<\/li>\n
  3. STEP 3<\/strong>: Define the final profile using the auxiliary drawing.<\/li>\n
  4. STEP 4<\/strong>: Define the starting point and the direction.<\/li>\n
  5. STEP 5<\/strong>: Export the geometry to an ISO code program.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    STEP 1. How to access the geometry editor<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Access the main menu by pressing the red square on the top left.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Press the [Edit] button, belonging to the \"Operation\" section, or the softkeys [F11] and then [F5].<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Once inside the \"Edit\" screen, go to the line of the program where you want to enter the geometry and press the softkey [Geometry editor] or [F6].<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    If you want to return to the \"Edit\" screen, press the [Finish] softkey or [F6].<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    STEP 2. How to edit the points and auxiliary lines<\/h3>\n

    Once inside the geometry editor, the first step will be to edit the points and auxiliary lines.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Edit the points and auxiliary lines using the buttons available in the \"Selection\" and \"Geometry\" menus on the left side of the page. Points and auxiliary lines will be displayed in green, and intersection points will be displayed in purple.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    If you want to save the points and auxiliary lines and exit the geometry editor, press the [Finish] or [F6] softkey.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Press the [Save project and exit] button.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Enter the desired name and press [ENTER] to save the project.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    If you want to open a previously saved point and auxiliary line project, press the [Archive] or [F1] softkey.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Press the [Open project] button.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Select the desired project and press [ENTER].<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    STEP 3. How to define the final profile using the auxiliary drawing<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Use the \"Draw Profile\" tool available in the \"Profile Operations\" menu to define the desired profile.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    To do so, click the \"Draw Profile\" button, select the intersections and lines that make up the profile until the selection is complete, and click the \"Draw Profile\" button again.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    STEP 4. How to define the starting point and the direction<\/h3>\n

    Once the desired profile is defined, define the starting point and the direction as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Use the \"Set Entry Point\" tool available in the \"Profile Operations\" menu to define the starting point and the desired direction. To do so, click the \"Set In Point\" button and click on the desired point. The direction is shown by a red arrow, which will change each time you click on the entry point.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    STEP 5. How to export the geometry to an ISO code program<\/h3>\n

    Once the profile is defined, with the starting point and the desired direction, generate the ISO program as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    To generate the ISO program, press the [Finish] softkey or [F6].<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Once the menu is displayed, press [Insert ISO code]. Remember that in this way only the final profile will be saved. To save all auxiliary lines, press [Save project and exit].<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    The HMI will return to the \"Edit\" page and the ISO code of the geometry will be inserted in the part-program.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    In order to modify the profile from its ISO code, place the cursor at any point on the profile you wish to modify and press the [Geometry Editor] softkey or [F6].<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Once inside the geometry editor, the profile can be modified and inserted again in the part program.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
