Flange and face plate lines (F, G)

F and G lines are used in bracket contour definition for flanges and face plates, respectively.

F and G lines define the starting point and the end point of a flange or face plate.

  • F S indicates that the first point to be defined is the starting point of a flange on the contour of the bracket.

  • F E indicates that the last defined point is the end point of the flange.

  • G S indicates that the first point to be defined is the starting point of a face plate on the contour of the bracket.

  • G E indicates that the last defined point is the end point of the face plate.

With the help of an additional numerical value, the starting point and/or end point of the flange or face plate can be shifted towards the end point or starting point.

Example:

F S U4

L AU6 U5 AV1 V2

F E U4

U4 specifies a displacement in relation to the starting point and the end point
