Screen for Assistance in Entering Tilted Working Plane 

Command (15-inch Display Unit) 

 
The screens for assistance in entering tilted working plane commands 
(hereinafter referred to as guidance screens) include a command type 
selection screen and a tilted working plane data setting screen. The 
command type selection screen is used to select a tilted working plane 
command. The tilted working plane data setting screen is used to set 
specified tilted working plane data required for the selected command. 
By making settings and performing operations on these guidance 
screens, a tilted working plane command block can be created. 
The created block is reflected as a new insertion to a program being 
edited or as a modification to an existing block. 
This function can be enabled by setting bit 1 (GGD) of parameter No. 
11304 to 1.

plane command block on guidance screens and for inserting the block 
to a program being edited on a program editing screen.
