Description of Controls
This creates a new, uncut workpiece.
This opens an existing cutting-configuration file.
This performs the cutting simulation over again,
using the presently imported tool path. Use this
when you want to check the movement of the tool
again.
This starts cutting.
If cutting was previously interrupted, it resumes
cutting.
This displays a prediction of how much time cutting
will take. The time is a general estimate.
In addition to the time, you can also verify the tool
movement distance and movement range.
This displays the simulation screen as a flat (two-
dimensional) view.
This restricts the 3D view range.
It also determines the printing area when performing
2D simulation.
Restricting the range makes 3D view faster than
when displaying the entire workpiece.
This pastes and image on the surface of the
workpiece.
By pasting an image of wood or metal, you can
make the workpiece look more realistic.
T o select the image to paste, click [Options] -
[Texture Setup].
This zooms the view of an object in or out.
This is available only during 3D view.
This changes an object's displayed location on the
screen.
This is available only during 3D view.
This enlarges or reduces what is displayed to fill the
drawing size.
This rotates the object, changing the perspective.
This is available only during 3D view.
This selects how the object is
displayed when on the 3D
screen when not performing any
operation.
This selects the image to paste on the surface of the
workpiece.
This changes the direction and brightness of incident
light, thereby changing the shading.
This quits the simulation.
These change the perspective when display-
ing a simulation three-dimensionally.
This displays the simulation screen as a solid (three-
dimensional) view.
This is for checking the shape after cutting simula-
tion.
This displays the movement of the tool with
animation.
This switches between adding and not adding color
to the surface of the workpiece.
To specify a color, click [Options] - [Surface Color].
This saves the shape of the present workpiece in a
file.
