After selecting the machining line, the user indexes the protrusion dimensions or enters them via keyboard. When indexing the protrusion dimensions, make sure that the direction of subsequent tool use is based on the order in which the points are indexed.

The system enters the window as a new NC data set at the end of the SOURCE with the following parameters:
