488 Graphic simulation
6.2 Simulation window
Single-window view
Single-window view
Only one view is shown in the small simulation window. You switch
the view with the Main view soft key. You can also use this soft key
when only one view is set in the large simulation window.
With cycle programs, you can activate the face or lateral surface view
only when the C axis is used in the program.
Multiple window view
Activating the multiple window view (possible only in the large
simulation window):
 Switch the menu bar to "Miscellaneous functions."
 Select the "Window" menu item (in the large
simulation window).
 Set the desired window combination.
 Set the path display in the auxiliary windows.
Path display in supplementary windows: The front face window,
lateral surface window, and YZ view are considered supplementary
windows. The following setting specifies whether the simulation
depicts traverse paths in the windows.
 Automatic: The simulation displays traverse paths if the C axis has
been oriented or a G17 or G19 has been executed. G18 or a C axis
out of orientation stops output of the traverse paths.
 Always: The simulation shows the traverse path in all simulation
windows.
In the multiple window view, a window is indicated with a green
frame. This window has the "focus," which means that magnification
settings and other functions apply to this window.
Switching the focus
 Press the soft key (or the GOTO key) several times
until the focus is on the desired window.
Switching between the single and multiple window display:
 Select the menu item (or the decimal point key) to
switch from the multiple-window to single-window
view. The window with the green frame is shown as
a single window view.
 Pressing the menu item again (or the decimal key)
switches back to the multiple window view.
Main view soft key
Select the view:
 Turning view XZ
 Face view XC
 Lateral surface view ZC
