6.9.5

Defining cutting planes

In the 3D view, you have the option of "cutting" the workpiece and therefore displaying

certain views in order to show hidden contours.

Precondition

The simulation or the simultaneous recording is started.

Procedure

Press the "Details" softkey.

Press the "Cut" softkey.

The workpiece is displayed in the cut state.

…

Press the corresponding softkey to shift the cutting plane in the required

direction.
