- Tool path
In the graphic coordinate system, which is set with the appropriate
graphic parameter, described later, the tool path in the workpiece or
machine coordinate system is drawn.
Use parameter No. 2209 to select either the workpiece or machine
coordinate system.
Tool path drawing continues even after the system is switched to
another screen. During drawing, "DRAW" is displayed in the drawing
status display portion. This makes it possible to determine whether
drawing is in progress even after the system is switched to another
screen.

- Graphic coordinate system
In the lower right portion of the screen, the coordinate axes of the
graphic coordinate system are displayed together with the axis names.
If the graphic coordinate system is not three-dimensional, the
