Fig. 3.3.5.1 The Tool Path Drawing Screen
The Tool Path Drawing Screen in the above Fig. 3.3.5.1 displays the current position of CNC
execution on screen by wire flame graphics. This screen can be used for the following purposes.
• To check the Tool Path prior to cutting the real material in Machine Lock mode.
• To check the current machine cutting conditions on screen.
The Tool Path Drawing Screen provides these buttons on screen.
The “Record” button is used to start/stop drawing the Tool Path on screen. The default
setting is OFF. To start recording, touch this button once. The PC NC automatically starts
drawing based on the current CNC Workpiece position. The CNC continues to draw while
this button is ON, although different screens may be displayed.
The “Clear” button is used to clear the drawing screen. All Tool path lines will disappear
when this button is pressed.
The “Prog” button is used to enable/disable the program and to display the position on the
Tool Path Screen.
