Polar coordinates

If a workpiece has been dimensioned from a central point (pole) with radius and angles, you

will find it helpful to program these dimensions as polar coordinates.

Before you program a straight line or circle in polar coordinates, you must define the pole,

i.e. the reference point, of the polar coordinate system.
