Showing and hiding the tool path

The path display follows the programmed tool path of the selected program. The path is
continuously updated as a function of the tool movement. The tool paths can be shown or
hidden as required.

1. The simulation or the simultaneous recording is started.
2. Press the ">>" softkey.
The tool paths are displayed in the active view.
3. Press the softkey to hide the tool paths.
The tool paths are still generated in the background and can be shown
again by pressing the softkey again.
4. Press the "'Delete tool path" softkey.
All of the tool paths recorded up until now are deleted.
1. Simulation is started.
2. Press the "Program control" softkey.
3. Press the "Override +" or "Override -" softkey to increase or decrease the
feedrate by 5%, respectively.
- OR -
Press the "100% override" softkey to set the feedrate to 100%.
