button to expand a chain (a chain is a joined series
of elements in the turn profile that are not joined to other elements
at either end).Mark cells for editing by clicking in an individual cell, or clicking and dragging over a range of cells. Notice how the elements become highlighted in the turn profile graphic. (You might need to re-position the New Finish Turn dialog if the element is hidden.)
If necessary mark additional cells by pressing the Ctrl key as you click or drag. (You can also Shift-click on the end cell to mark a range of cells.)Type in a value or edit the existing value for the marked cells. This becomes an override to the overall dialog setting (shown in the column heading).

Expanding a chain shows you all the elements in the chain (lines, arcs and so on), each on its own table row. The row has columns for the element's Name, Feedrate, Speed, and Constant Offset.
