In case the value of the auto erase is other than zero, when starting the automatic program
execution both the drawing area and the buffer are cleared.
If the value of the path color is 0 rapid traverse is drawn with red, feed with green, while
thread cutting with yellow color. If the value is not zero, the rapid traverse movements are not
drawn.
In case the value of tool color is other than 0 the
movements are drawn with the appropriate tool
color (current T in the course of movement ). The
color code is the lower three bytes of the addition
of the tool number and the tool color.
If the value of auto change color is not 0 the draw-
ing starts with the color code specified here, and
afterwards every tool change (T change) adds to
the color code.

Recalculate Action: When pressing the softkey the position of screen center and the graphic
scale are recalculated from the work size according to the selected plane.
Graphic Action Menu: After pushing the softkey the following actions appear: Auto Erase,
G40, G53, Dotted. Using Auto Erase the item with the same title in graphic parame-
ters table can be set or reset. Its effect detailed above. The softkey G40 can only be
used in case of running in TEST mode. In its switched-on state the drawing appears on
the screen without tool radius compensation. In the pushed in state of button G53
drawing is done in machine coordinate system instead of the actual work coordinate
system, that is if more coordinate systems are used in the same program the tool path
can be seen separetely. In the pushed in state of button Dotted the separate points are
not connected together with lines. It is useful when the program consists of small
minute lines.
