Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

I'm trying to use DXF import for the first time and find the CNC 10 manual lacking the necessary detail.
Using the 'contour' function, I'm able to select a contour, but then the screen displays...

End X: -6.3750
Y: 12.0000
Z: .2500
Angle 0.0000
Length 0.0000
Connect Radius 0.0000
Feedrate 0.0000

The contour I selected is a 5/8" circle. What are the x,y,z numbers in reference to?
End of what?
Angle of what?
Length of what?
Connect radius I think I understand
No issue with feedrate.

Is there a more complete description I can access from somewhere?

Thanks much for any help you can give me.

I haven't used DXF import yet myself. I found this:

What operation are you wanting to do to the 5/8" Circle?

I just wanted to contour the circle to see how the operation works. I have figured out the answer to some of what I asked. However, it looks like the contour operation only follows the contour once around; no roughing features. As such it's not going to work in a situation where a lot of material needs to be removed before the contour is cut. Looks like I'm going to have to go back to CAD/CAM to achieve what I want to do.
