12.2 Type of graphics
When selecting this option, the softkey menu shows the types of graphics available. The
various types of graphics may be grouped into line graphics (XZ, XC. ZC and combined) and
solid graphics (Solid XZ, Solid XC, Solid ZC). Line graphics show the tool path with lines of
different colors and solid graphics show an image of the part.
The type of graphics selected will remain active until another type is selected or the graphic
display is deactivated or the CNC is turned off. Likewise, when changing the type of graphics,
the CNC will maintain the graphic conditions (zoom, graphic parameters, display area, etc.),
defined for the last graphic.
"XZ" - "XC" - "ZC" graphics
This type of graphic displays the tool paths in the XZ, XC or ZC plane.
"Combined" graphics
This type of graphic divides the display area in four quadrants and displays the tool path
corresponding to each plane planos XZ, XC or ZC.
"Solid 3D" Graphics
This type of graphics displays a three-dimensional graph of the machining of the part.
Starting out with a solid block which is "machined" as the program is executed or simulated.
