5.2 Starting/stopping a program in standard simulation

If you want to display a different portion of the workpiece from the one
defined in ShopMill, you can define a new blank in the program (see
Sec. "Changing program settings").
Quick display of traverse paths is possible for large part programs. In
this quick dashed-line drawing view, all programmed positions (even
those resulting from work offsets) are shown as axis paths resulting
from G1.
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions.
Quick display for mold making is only available for the PCU 50.
The required program
• sequential control program or
• G Code Program
has been selected and is in the program editor.
Press the "Simulation" and "Standard" softkeys.
Press the "Details" and "Single Block" softkeys, if you wish to
execute the program block by block.
Execution of the program will be displayed on the screen in graphical
form. The machine axes do not move.
In the case of sequential control programs, the dimensions of the
blank for simulation are taken from the program header.
If a subroutine is called in the program, ShopMill evaluates the
program header of the subroutine and uses the blank defined there for
graphically displaying the part. The settings from the subroutine
header remain effective, even after the subroutine has been executed.
If you want to retain the blank used in the main program, delete the
data relating to the blank in the subroutine header.
With G code programs, you must specify the dimensions of the blank
or the selected viewport yourself.
