Graphic parameters
To draw a tool path, set the graphic coordinate system, tool path
graphic colors, and graphic range on the graphic parameter screen.
The following explains the graphic parameters to be specified on the
graphic parameter screen.
Merely specifying the graphic parameters does not make their settings
effective. The [ERASE] soft key on the tool path drawing screen must
be pressed to make them effective.
- Graphic coordinate system
Select the graphic coordinate system in which to draw a tool path from
among the following, and set its number.

Fig.10.8 (e) Graphic Coordinate Systems
- Horizontal rotation angle
When the graphic coordinate system selected is a three-dimensional
one, such as 7 (XYZ), 8 (YZX), or 9 (ZXY), the coordinate system can
be rotated about a horizontal plane of rotation. The rotation angle can
be set in the range of –360 to +360 degree.
The initial rotation angle can be set for parameter No. 4831. The actual
rotation angle is equal to the initial rotation angle plus the specified
rotation angle.
In Fig. 10.8 (e), shown below, graphic coordinate system XYZ is
converted into XY"Z" because of the following settings:
Initial rotation angle: 180 degree
Horizontal rotation angle: 30 degree
