Coordinates area
Machine Coordinate
System (MCS) check box
When you select the Machine Coordinate System (MCS) check box, PC-DMIS
displays the information in the machine's coordinate system, not the part
coordinate system. This check box switches between these coordinate systems.
Deselecting it will once again display the information in the part's coordinate
system.
Use Polar Coordinates
check box
When you select the Use Polar Coordinates
check box, PC-DMIS switches between rectangular and polar coordinates.
When polar coordinates are used, the normal direction of the workplane
is also displayed.
