# 3D distance control

The license for “Cutting” is required in order to use 3D distance control.

## Release Note

This function is available as of V3.1.3080.12 or V3.1.3107.44

## Notice

This function is an additional option requiring a license.

If the NC command #DIST CTRL is programmed for 3D distance control without a license, the NC program is aborted and Error ID 21837 is output.

In principle, kinematic transformation with the appropriate licence is assumed for tool orientation.

## Notice

Transformations are additional options and subject to the purchase of a license.

## Notice

The number of simultaneous 3D distance controls permitted in an NC channel is limited to one
