Command

#set paramAutoAccurateStop(<angle>)#

Parameter <angle>

Deselect

#set paramAutoAccurateStop( 0 )#

An accurate stop after a defined limit angle is inserted between 2 segments with the aid of the 'AutoAccurateStop' command.

For circle segments, the angle is calculated from the tangents at the points of entry and leaving.

Sample:

#set paramAutoAccurateStop(45)# (angle in
degrees)
N10 G01 X1000 Y0 Z0 F60000 (start position: X0 Y0 Z0)
N20 X0 Y500
...

An accurate stop is inserted between segments A and B in this example.
