In some cases (lathes) the entries can be directly accessed at the user interface:
a[VIS]
...
;Plane viewpoint default for standard milling: BDL(BackDownLeft)
;possible BDL, BUL, BUR, BDR, FDL, FUL, FUR or FDR PLANE_VIEW=BDL
or
[VIS]
...
;Plane viewpoint default for standard horizontal lathes:
BDR(BackDownRight)
;for vertical lathes with +Z upward: BDL or with +Z downward: FUL
(*** from SW5.3 ***)
;possible BDL, BUL, BUR, BDR, FDL, FUL, FUR or FDR
PLANE_VIEW=BDR
Note
Entries other than BDR, BDL or FUL are of no use for lathes at present.
Operator control (only turning):
To support vertical lathe orientations, the existing "Set spindle" form has been expanded to
include an additional "Machine orientation" frame group, initially with 3 option controls:
"horizontal standard" (default: PLANE_VIEW=BDR),
"vertical, downward feed" (PLANE_VIEW=BDL)and
"vertical, upward feed" (PLANE_VIEW=FUL).
Using the "Change default" softkey the adjustments made here can also be used as a
permanent reference for all new workpieces.

Commissioning Manual, 03/2009, 6FC5397-0DP10-3BA0
In the turning version, in conjunction with the blank inputs, the consistency of the
"External diameter" and "Unwinding diameter surface area" parameters is checked and, if
necessary, adjusted automatically (e.g. if the external diameter is reduced), and missing
entries are signaled (e.g. empty input field for unwind diameter).
Temporarily received for the subsequent selection of a tool data source (e.g. "with tools").
In order for the correct selection and deselection of tool compensations (LK, FRK, SRK)
to be checked visually, it is useful to be able to visually compare the tool center-point path
when tool compensations are deselected and the tool path when tool compensations are
selected.
For this purpose, the tool center-point path produced from a simulation run "without tool
data" is therefore generally retained for the first subsequent simulation run "with tool data"
(tool paths with and without tool compensations are overlaid graphically for one SIM
session). Thereafter the tool paths are reset as usual at the start of each simulation.
