3-D view
 The 3-D view menu item switches to a perspective
view and shows the programmed finished part.
With the 3-D view, you can display the blank and the finished part with
all turning operations, milling contours, drilling and boring operations
as well as threads in a solid-model view. Tilted Y planes and machining
operations referenced to them, such as pockets or patterns, are also
displayed correctly by the CNC PILOT.
The CNC PILOT depicts milling contours depending on the parameter
HC: Milling/drilling attribute defined in G308. If you have selected
the "contour milling," "pocket milling" or "area milling" values in this
parameter, the graphic shows the respective 3-D elements. If other
values are specified in the HC parameter or if values are missing, the
control depicts the described milling contour as a blue line.
Elements that cannot be calculated by the CNC PILOT are displayed
as an orange line; for example, if an open milling contour is
programmed as a pocket.
With the soft keys and the menu functions you can influence the
display of the workpiece.
Check mode
The check mode enables you to verify the correct positioning of holes
and milling contours, for example.
In the check mode the CNC PILOT displays turning contours in gray,
and drilling and milling contours in yellow. For a better overview, the
control shows all contours as transparent.
The finished part contour programmed in the FINISHED
section is shown in the graphic regardless of the
machining operation in the NC program.
You can cancel the calculation of the 3-D view by pressing
the ESC key or the Cancel soft key.
