Additional information
1. To activate the machining list after a workpiece selection, it
must be selected explicitly at least once with the
"Channel/spindle" softkey.
The list is displayed implicitly every time a program is subsequently
selected from the same workpiece directory so that it can be added
to as required. It only makes sense to define a simulation
sequence using the machining list "Channel/spindle" provided if the
overlay principle for part machining is used (i.e., when the
simulation result of several part programs in succession is to be
viewed at a single blank). In such cases, it is especially important
to also follow the instructions at the bottom of the dialog. These
may contains lines for which an intermediate model has already
been created, a special status display. By selecting such a line in
the machining list you can place the simulation directly on the
associated intermediate model again.
2. If individual programs are simulated, the machining list default
produces the correct simulation sequence even if the menu item
"Channel/spindle" is not selected (and therefore without applying
the overlay principle).
3. With the correct password you can define manufacturer-specific
default setting values with "Change default" under menu items
"Channel settings" and "Spindle settings", which then apply
globally for all new workpieces.
