The 2-window view contains a side view (left-hand window) and a front
view (right-hand window) of the workpiece. The viewing direction is
always from the front to the cutting surface even if machining is to be
performed from behind or from the back side.
Changing the display
You can increase or decrease the size of the simulation graphic and move it, as well as
change the segment.
