25.9 GRAPHIC FUNCTION
The graphic function consists of tool path drawing (for the tool path of
the program currently being used for machining) and background
drawing (for the tool path of a program without performing
machining).
25.9.1 Tool Path Drawing
The tool path of the program currently being used for machining can be
drawn. This allows checking of the progress of machining and the
tool’s current position.
The following functions are supported:
- Display the current position of the tool in the workpiece
coordinate system.
- Set any graphic coordinate system.
- Draw rapid traverse and cutting feed in different colors.
- Display the F, S, and T values of the program whose tool path is
currently drawn, as well as the machining time.
- Enlarge/reduce the drawing.
