BLEND-POINT EDITOR : X-axis Controls
Note: All parameters are in the Motion Units
Use the X-axis Controls to move the position of a Blend-Point along the X-axis, and not change the Motion-Width.
However, there is a special case when you edit Blend-Point #1.
X-axis Values
Motion Start
To move the complete motion to start earlier or later than 0 [Units of machine or time], relative to the Master-Machine-Angle
The Motion-Width does not change.
X-axis
To move the X-axis value of the active Blend-Point to become earlier or later [see Warning].
The Motion-Width does not change [see Warning].
Special Case: Blend-Point #1
If you attempt to increase the X-axis value of Blend-Point #1:
| • | You decrease the duration of the Segment #1 and increase the duration of the Last Segment [see Warning]. |
| • | However, the X-axis value will not change, it will again equal the Motion-Start. |
Similarly, if you attempt to decrease the X-axis value of Blend-Point #1:
| • | You increase the duration of the Segment #1 and decrease the duration of the Last Segment [see Warning]. |
| • | However, the X-axis value will not change, it will again equal the Motion-Start. |
WARNING:
If you edit the active Blend-Point such that it bumps into the its adjacent Blend-Point, the adjacent Blend-Point will move, AND the complete Motion-Width becomes greater.
You must use the Segment-Editor to edit the Segment-Width of the segments to make the Motion-Width 360 again.

E.G.: X-axis value
You can edit active Blend-Point to a:
If you edit the Blend-Point outside of these limits, The th As you edit the X-axis value in the data box, the active Blend-Point moves to the left ['earlier'] or to the right ['later']. See also: How to Edit a value in a Data-box. |
