Moving the 3D program path
By keeping pressed the left mouse button, the CNC program is shifted along the x-, y-,
or z-axis. By keeping pressed the right mouse button the CNC program is turned on the
x-, y-, or z-axis. Using the mouse wheel while pressing Ctrl key, the zoom factor is to
be changed. The control panel in the upper left part of the CNC graphic display
provides various commands for moving the CNC program, too.
To add a path element
For inserting or appending a path element the ToolBox provides miscellaneous
commands.
To modify a path element
A selected element can be modified by clicking on the relocatable points visualized
with small circles. Then the circle becomes red and thick. If tangents are relocatable
they become red after a mouse click as well. Then they can be modified by moving
their start or end point in the diagram plane of the selected point. Due to the type of
the element the number of relocatable points are different. The current values of the
associated variables are simultaneously visible in the CNC text editor or in table view.
To delete a path element
A selected element can be deleted by using the Del key.
Commands and options
Various commands and options are available to visualize additional sets of data of the
CNC program or to manipulate it. They are all placed in the "CNC" menu.
Example
Various CNC programs are enclosed by the setup. Have a closer look at the
comprehensive description of them.
Control Panel
In the upper left edge of the CNC editor a control panel provides various commands for
changing the appearance of the path.
Abb. 339 CNC control panel
When clicking in the black arrow, the control panel disappears, and the view on the
path is enlarged. A little arrow allows access to the panel. With clicking in the
minimized panel it maximizes and the whole control panel is visible.
