In the middle of the screen, you will find a 3D view representing the 

reachable XYZ 

working volume

 of the machine. The 

orange cone

 represents the 

tool

, so the central 

point of the machine from which all coordinates are calculated.

If a 

G-code is loaded

, the graphical interface will also 

display the toolpath

 that the ma-

chine will follow to mill that part.

The 

toolbar

 located on

 top

 can be used to change the 

views

 (top, side,...), but also to 

zoom

 on the workpiece, on the tool, etc.
