Color palettes for tool path
Two freely definable color palettes are available for tool paths for
differentiating between feedrate and rapid traverse movements.
In each color palette it is possible to differentiate between different
basic tool types (without tools, drilling tools, milling tools, turning
tools, threading tools, special tools), to allow differentiation for path
visualization.
Channel assignment of
color palettes
One of the two tool type specific color palettes can be freely assigned
to each of the required simulation channels.
Planes for color
classification
In the case of milling/drilling, the available colors are assigned to the
defined cutting depth range. The default value is the thickness of the
blank.

Additional information
The default values can be modified according to the manufacturer’s
requirements if a valid password is entered. The new values are then
globally valid for all new workpieces.
6.8.5 Section-by-section simulation
Function
A procedure in which first the individual sections of a program are
optimized one after the other without collision consideration is the
preferred method for testing part programs graphically.
Section by section simulation allows the user to go to the individual
section of the program via reference points (using block search).
The reference points are always defined by path markers (program
labels).
