7.5 Different views of the workpiece
In the graphical display, you can choose between different views so that you constantly have
the best view of the current workpiece machining, or in order to display details or the overall
view of the finished workpiece.
The following views are available:
● Top view
● 3D view (with option)
● Side views
● Turn view (for milling/turning machine)
● Half cut view (for milling/turning machine)
● Machine space (with "collision avoidance" option)
Note
Simulation in half cut view
In the simulation, the "Half cut view" is used for more precise viewing of inside turning
operations. This view is not designed for viewing milling operations. Displaying milling
operations in this way can result in long simulation times.
