13.3.3 Graphic Editor
The graphic editor is in the lower left part of the CNC editor. On the one hand it
visualizes the CNC program which is described in the text editor or the table editor, on
the other hand you can modify the program using the ToolBox. All changes will be
updated automatically and immediately in the Din66025 editor or in the table view in
the upper window part.
General
By click in the graphic editor a blue border on the left side of the window gets visible
and indicates the window focus. As long as the focus is on the graphic editor the blue
border is there. A coordinate system with green y-axis, red x-axis and blue z-axis is
displayed. A light gray colored grid is in the background, which can switched on and off
via the command Show grid in menu "CNC". Positioning commands (G0) including
switch positions are displayed green colored in different to all other elements which
are black colored. If the end point is relocatable, it is visualized as small black bordered
circle. Start and end tangents are gray colored. By click on a path element it gets red
colored with a blue filled start point and a thin black end point. The corresponding
code sentence in the text editor is light-blue colored. In table view the table row is
highlighted in light gray. In the status line the current position of the selected path
element is shown. The coordinates of the position are displayed in world coordinates,
if possible.
