- Graphic colors
Set the number of the graphic color representing cutting feed, rapid
traverse, and reverse in the tool path.
0 : White 1 : Red 2 : Green 3 : Yellow
4 : Blue 5 : Purple 6 : Light blue 7 : White
- Setting the graphic range
To draw a tool path within the tool path graphic area, set the graphic
range. There are two ways of doing this:
1. Setting the graphic center and the scale factor
2. Setting the graphic range maximum and minimum
Whether 1 or 2 is effective depends on which parameter was specified
last. Once set, the graphic range is retained even after the power is cut
off.
1. Setting the graphic center and the scale factor
Set the coordinates of the center of the tool path graphic area, as
coordinates in the workpiece coordinate system. Then, set the
appropriate scale factor so that the graphic range is contained within
the tool path graphic area.
The scale factor can be 0.01 to 100.
With a small scale factor, a tool path can be drawn within a wide range.
With a large scale factor, a tool path can be drawn in the vicinity of the
graphic center being enlarged.
2. Setting the graphic range maximum and minimum
Set the maximum and minimum for the desired graphic range, as
coordinates in the workpiece coordinate system. Drawing is performed
so that the entire specified range is contained within the tool path
graphic area.
From the maximum and minimum, the graphic center and the scale
factor are automatically calculated, and the graphic center and the scale
factor displayed on the graphic parameter screen are updated.
The automatically calculated scale factor is clamped within the range
of 0.01 to 100 if it exceeds the range. The maximum must be greater
than the minimum.
If the graphic coordinate system selected is 10 (XY+XZ), 11 (YZ+YX),
or 12 (ZX+ZY), the horizontal ratio of the upper and lower coordinate
systems will be clamped within the range of 1:2 to 2:1.
