Machine manufacturer
Please also refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.
During simulation or simultaneous recording you can follow stock removal from the
defined blank.
You have the option of including the display of the path. The programmed tool path is
displayed.
Before machining the workpiece on the machine, you can perform a quick run-through in
order to graphically display how the program will be executed.
Before machining the workpiece on the machine, you can graphically display how the
program will be executed during the program test and dry run feedrate. The machine
axes do not move if you have selected "no axis motion".
You can follow machining of the workpiece on the screen while the program is being
executed on the machine.
