Tool Path Replay |
|||||||||||||||
Display tool near cursor position on tool pathSelect this check box if you want to display the tool near your cursor position on the trajectory during a tool path replay. You can display the tool at a specific
point by clicking on the tool path. The tool will then be positioned on the
nearest computed point on the trajectory. To remove the tool from that
position, just click anywhere on the tool or tool path. Display tool center instead of tool tipSelect this check box if you want to display the tool center point instead of the tool tip during a tool path replay. Display circlesSelect this check box if you want to display each circular trajectory as
a circular arc instead of a set of discretization points. The extremities
of the circular arc are indicated by means of 'O' symbols. By default, these check boxes are not selected. Color of feedratesSelect the colors to be used for identifying the various feedrate types by means of the combos. The selected colors will be displayed in the Different colors replay mode. Note: The default feedrate
color in the Same color replay mode is Green. |
