How do you access TOOL frame settings? - Answer-Menu
Setup
Frames
select TOOL frame
Press method and select 3 point or 6 point
Using 3-point method, how do you set the TOOL frame? - Answer-1. Come from the Z
direction to a point and save.
2. Come from the X direction at a 45 degree angle at least and save.
3. Come from the Y direction at a 45 degree angle at least and save.
Using 6 point method, how do you set the TOOL frame? - Answer-1. Set the XY or XZ
major axes to the dire action you want the tooling to move in.
2. For the XY you set those directions and the direction left is designated for Z
For XZ you set those directions and the direction left is designated for Y
How do you set the USER frame? - Answer-The USER frame is set by setting an origin
point and then moving in a direction and setting that as any axis. You can make your
WORLD Y movement be your USER X movement.
