EDITING-SIMULATION MODE

Graphic window (softkeys)

It is used to set the appearance and some functions of the graphic window. These options may be used at any time, even while simulating a program.

When selecting this option, the softkey menu shows the available options. To return to the main menu, press the key for the previous menu.

Option "Activate" / "Deactivate"

It is used to activate or deactivate the graphic representation.

When the graphic representation is deactivated and activated, the current graphic is erased; but the display conditions are kept active (type of graphics, zoom, graphic parameters and display area) that were active before that mode was deactivated.

Option "Simple" / "Combined"

It is used to hide or show the dialog and data areas on the right-hand side of the graphic window so the drawing occupies the whole graphic window.

Option "Hide Tool" / "Show Tool"

It is used to hide or show the tool while simulating in "3D solid" graphics.

Option "Print"

It is used to print the graphics in a printer connected to the CNC or as a file (BMP format) at the CNC. When printing to a file, it is saved in the folder:

"C:\Cnc8070\Users\Reports\*.bmp"

When selecting this option, the CNC will show a dialog box requesting the print destination (printer or file).

Print destination

To select the print destination.

To print the drawing.

To cancel the printing.

After selecting the destination, press [ENTER] to print it or [ESC] to cancel it.
