Probe position indicator
The probe indicator shows the probe’s current position and is a cross for crosshairs or a circle for edge
detectors. The position indicator can be toggled on or off by double-clicking the Hide/Show Position
Indicator line.
The probe position indicator can be useful to operators that are manually probing features. However, it
typically serves little purpose when running a CNC program and might best be hidden to conserve com-
puter resources and speed program execution.
Template state
Templates that are open when a program is recorded will appear in the list of initial settings. Each template
can be cycled through 3 states by double-clicking the template line.
• Open Open in the template window
• Close Closed and not displayed
• Select Opened and selected as the current template
Templates can be closed during program execution to conserve computer resources and speed program
execution.
CAUTION
The Runs template must be opened to accumulate data in the Runs database.
