2.10.2 Quick viewer for mold-making

The mold-making quick view allows the visualization of the processing paths of large part
programs, e.g. from CAM systems. By means of the quick view, you can get a quick overview of
the program, e.g. the shape of the workpiece or traversing errors or check approach and
retraction paths.
The mold-making view supports such blocks as those with G0, G1, G2 and G3, as well as the
display of vectors as rotary axis or vector programming. Non-interpretable NC blocks are skipped
