Sim Tools
Touch the Sim Tools button to activate the Draw Tool
Table.
The simulator tool table is a separate table that Draw uses to simulate
the machining of the part. The machine tool table can be copied into
the Draw tool table. Any changes made in this table does not affect
the machine tool table.
Running programs in Draw that have tool or fixture definitions only
affect the simulation tool, and fixture tables.
Button Function
Sim Tools is the table used to define the
characteristics of the tools to be used while
simulating the program. The usage behaviors are
identical to the standard machine Tool Table.
Sim Offset is the table used to define the fixture
offsets to be used when simulating the program.
Clear line clears the data for highlighted line.
Clear Table clears all the data from the table.
Adjust allows adjustment of the currently selected
single data value in the active table.
Find provides a way to jump directly to a specific
location in the active table without the need to scroll
through the table.
Copy Tables can be used to copy the contents of the
standard machine Tool Table and Fixture Offset
Table into the se Draw Tables. When Sim Tools is
highlighted, this copies the Fixture Offset Table data
instead.
The Sim Tool and Sim Offset tables are only accessible
when the feature is enabled in the configuration. See
"Simulation Tool and Offset Tables" on page 71.
