HD GRAPHIC ENVIRONMENT (LATHE MODEL)
(REF: 1505)
Configure the graphics (number of windows, colors, etc.).
Define the sections.
In the configuration window, each section is defined with an origin point and a plane, defined
with its normal vector. The color of each section may also be defined.
• The "Origin" data defines the origin of the section.
• The "Normal" data defines the components of the vector normal to the plane, that defines
the orientation of the plane.
The resulting section will be a plane perpendicular to the vector defined in "Normal" and it
goes through the point defined in "Origin". The default values define three sections, each
of them perpendicular to one of the axes and cut the part in half.
Activate the sections.
Each section may be activated individually. The definition of active windows only affect the
active window (the one having the focus).
To view the sections on the graphic, one must also enable the "view sections" option in the
window properties. If the "view sections" option is not enabled, the graphic does not show
any section even if they are active. If the "view sections" option is not enabled, the graphic
shows the active sections separately.
Color configuration.
This softkey is used to configure the colors for the part and for the tool paths. This
configuration is global for all the windows.
Path colors.
This option is used to assign colors to the following tool paths.
• Rapid traverse (G0).
• Compensated movements.
• Uncompensated movements.
• Canned cycles.
• Tapping.
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.
