5.1 Programming Introduction
Features Features can be turned on and off and are
graphical representations of the following:
 Tool Path is the path the tool will take as it
moves to cut the part.
 Rapids are the tool movements that are set
at a rapid feed rate.
 Contour is the geometry of the
programmed contour.

M
arkers are the zero point marker,
reference point markers, drill marker
cross-hairs, and lines of reflection.
Display Grid  Display Grid is available when viewing a
part graphic. A grid can be turned on as an
overlay to the part graphic.
 The grid spacing can be set using the
Spacing field and is relative to the actual
part size.
 The grid can be turned on and off.
Simulation Speed The simulation speed can be changed to any
of the following values:
 Full: Simulates the program as fast as
possible.
 10X: Simulates the program at ten times
the programmed feed rate.
 Actual: Simulates the program at the
programmed feed rate.
 ½X: Simulates the program at half the
programmed feed rate.
Machining a part in PGM mode will show the soft keys to
easily select between 2D Line, 3D Line and 3D Solid
without having to open the View Setup dialogue.
