BASE POINT X X coordinate of the base point positioned apart from a
line
BASE POINT Z Z coordinate of the base point positioned apart from a
line
PASS POINT U X coordinate of the 1st passing point on the line
PASS POINT W Z coordinate of the 1st passing point on the line
PASS POINT P X coordinate of the 2nd passing point on the line
PASS POINT Q Z coordinate of the 2nd passing point on the line
SHIFT DIST. D When the line should be specified by shifting an original
line, enter the shifting distance

- Cross point between 2 lines
The cross point of two lines can be calculated. Furthermore, this
calculation can also be done for a line that is shifted from its original
position by some distance.
This can be useful when entering a tool path that is shifted from the
original figure by an amount equal to the tool radius.
