Only one axis is active at any given time. The name of the active axis is displayed in the toolbar,
as in the following example toolbar section:
The active curve is special in the following ways:
• Its name is displayed in the toolbar under Active Axis. See Toolbar for details.
• The active curve is plotted in red, whereas all other curves are plotted in black.
• The velocity and acceleration plots, if enabled, correspond only to the active axis. See Showing
Velocity and Acceleration for details.
• The extend and retract limits of the active axis are indicated by displaying the out-of-limits regions
with a yellow background. See Curve Limits for details.
• The Detail window shows values from the active axis only. See Detail Window for more
information.
• The active axis is the one used by the Copy, Paste, Cut, Erase Curve, Upload from Motion
Controller, Download to Motion Controller, and Convert Plot to Curve commands.
• The keyboard methods of selecting and moving points only affect the active axis. See Selecting
Points and Moving Points for details.
• Only points on the active axis can be selected by dragging a selection box. See Selecting Points
