2-D Axes Orientation
3D Horizontal Plane Rotation (alpha) Angle
This angle rotates the 3-dimensional coordinate system around the configured third axis. The
allowed value ranges from -359.99999 to + 359.99999. Make sure you select 3D as your
visualization type to set this parameter.
IMPORTANT
Before setting the minimum and maximum axis limits, you must decide
whether you want to view the entire profile or only a portion of it. If you
choose to view the entire profile, make sure your limits include the
minimum and maximum points reached by the machining process.
