mode, the TNC provides the following three display modes: Using soft
keys, select whether you desire:

The TNC graphic depicts the workpiece as if it were being machined
with a cylindrical end mill. If a tool table is active, you can also simulate
the machining operation with a spherical cutter. For this purpose,
enter R2 = R in the tool table.

has been programmed in the TOOL CALL block.

conditions for program sections or programs in which
rotary axis movements are defined. The graphic may not
be displayed correctly by the TNC.
