Creating a ShopMill program
9.14 Changing program settings
For the simulation and the simultaneous recording use a blank. A useful simulation can only
be achieved with a blank that is as close as possible to the real blank.
For the blank of the workpiece, define the shape (cuboid, tube, cylinder, polygon or centered
cuboid) and your dimensions.
The blank entry always refers to the work offset currently effective at the position in the program.
