Brush Area: Circle 1
Brush Area: Circle 1, causes the tip to „paint‟ the defined area by following a spiral path
from the center of the circle to the outside limit of the circle. It works in reverse of the
Circle function.
After registering the Brush Area Circle command, jog the tip to a point where you want to
register the center of the circle and register that location as a Line Start. Then jog the tip
directly across on the outside limit of the circle to be brushed and register that location as
a Line End point (the tip will not dispense a straight line between these two points):
If, for example, a brush width of 5 mm was used, the tip will take the following path when
the program is run:
An open or closed option is also available for this function. Selecting the Closed option will
make a whole circle after making the spiral. Selecting the Open option will make the spiral
without closing the outer circle.
Closed Circle1:
Creates a spiral from
the center to the outside finishing with
