D View - HEIDENHAIN ITNC 530 User Manual

3-D view

The workpiece is displayed in three dimensions, and can be rotated
about the vertical axis. If you have the appropriate hardware, then with
its high-resolution 3-D graphics the TNC can also display machining
operations in the tilted working plane as well as multi-sided machining
operations.
You can rotate the 3-D display about the vertical and horizontal axes
via soft keys. If there is a mouse attached to your TNC, you can also
perform this function by holding down the right mouse button and
dragging the mouse.
The shape of the workpiece blank can be depicted by a frame overlay
at the beginning of the graphic simulation.
In the Test Run mode of operation you can isolate details for
magnification, see "Magnifying details" on page 589.
Press the soft key for 3-D view. Press the soft key
twice to switch to the high-resolution 3-D graphics.
This switch is only possible once the simulation has
finished. The high-resolution graphics also display
machining operations in the tilted working plane.
The speed of the high-resolution 3-D graphics depends on
the tooth length (LCUTS column in the tool table). If
LCUTS is defined as 0 (basic setting), the simulation
calculates an infinitely long tooth length, which leads to a
long processing time. If you do not want to define LCUTS,
then set MP7312 to a value between 5 and 10. This way
the TNC internally limits the tooth length to a value which
is calculated from MP7312 times the tool diameter.
