Best area for displaying the graphics
The display are may be established from the softkey menu associated
with the simulation graphics window or may be left up to the CNC to
periodically calculate the best area.
While the graphics window is visible, the key combination [CTRL]+[D]
activates the calculation of the best area. From that moment on and
until quitting the cycle editor, the CNC periodically calculates the best
display are for the graphics.
When quitting the graphics, it will assume as the new display area the
one calculated last.
Window for simulation and data editing
While the graphics window is selected, it may be switched to the cycle
parameter area using the direct access keys. If the parameter belongs
to a positioning cycle, firs press [CTRL]+[F2] (window change)
If the cycle simulated at full screen, the cycle editor may also be
accessed by pressing the [ESC] key. To select the graphics window
again, use the key combination [CTRL]+[G] or [SHIFT]+[G] or [G].
The horizontal softkey menu will show the graphic options when the
graphics window has the focus and those of the cycle editor if
otherwise.
The simulation in progress is not interrupted while editing data. If the
cycle data is changed during simulation, they will be assumed for the
next simulation of the cycle; i.e. after RESETting the simulation in
progress once it has finished or after a STOP and RESET to abort it.
Summary of the hotkeys while simulating a cycle.
[CTRL]+[F2] In the parameter window, it toggles between the cycle
parameters and the positioning parameters.
[CTRL]+[G] It selects the graphics window.
It shrinks or expands the graphics window.
It shows the dialog area for the graphics data.
[CTRL]+[D] It activates the periodic calculation of the best display area.
[SHIFT]+[G]
[G]
It shows the graphics window when a simulation is running
and the parameter editing window is active.
[ESC] If the graphics are shown at full screen, it shows the cycle
editor screen.
