Configure the graphics (number of windows, colors, etc.).
Part colors.
This option is used to change the background colors, the colors of the machined areas and
the look of the part. The selected values remain until the CNC is turned off.
• Background color.
• Color of the machining operations carried out with the first five tools used on the graphic.
Here only the colors are defined, to display them, the "view tool colors" option must be
active in the properties of the view.
• Material used to represent the solid part. The "Advanced" button may be used to change
the properties of the selected material. Besides the various color components (diffuse,
ambient, etc.), the brightness and transparency of the part can also be defined.
Transparency may take values between 0 and 1. If the value of the transparency is other
than zero, the solid part becomes transparent.
General configuration of the graphics.
This softkey may be used to configure the global properties of the graphic environment, those
affecting all the windows.
Number of windows.
The graphic environment may be a full-screen window or may be divided into 2 or 4 windows,
each with different properties (for example a different view of the part). The screen may be
selected with the tab key or with the keys [1] through [4] (depending on the window to be
selected).
Graphic parameters.
The "Advanced" button may be used to change the following parameters that affect the speed
and quality of the graphic. The higher the value of these parameters, the better the graphic
quality but slower drawing speed.
• Machining accuracy.
• Refresh speed.
Simulation speed.
When simulating a program (from EDISIMU mode), the simulation speed can also be
defined. It is not possible during execution (automatic mode).
Load machine.
This softkey may be used to load a new machine configuration in F3D graphics (xca files).
The CNC offers several xca files, one per model, containing the definition and configuration
of he machine for F3D graphics. On power-up, the CNC assumes the last file used.
If the physical configuration of the machine changes during execution (for example, spindle
change with different number of axes), the corresponding xca file must be loaded so the
graphics show the changes. The xca files may be loaded either from the softkey menu or
from the program using the instruction #DEFGRAPH.
When changing the machine configuration, the CNC saves the part displayed on the screen
automatically as LastPiece.stl into the folder ../Users/Grafdata, and it recovers it after the new
configuration.
The machine configuration files supplied by Fagor consist of a single file, the xca. These files cover
most configurations; therefore, new xca will have to be generated when the machine has some special
requirement that affects graphics.
When an OEM creates his own configuration files, for each xca file, he must create a ".def" file with
the same name that completes the configuration of the axes involved in the kinematics. Both files must
be copied when saving the configuration file in another folder.
