Viewing Programs
Draw Graphics (part graphics) is a method by which to prove a
program before you cut any material. It allows you to view the part
edge and/or tool path from different angles, inspect the moves the
machine is programmed to make, without necessarily moving the
axes. This reduces waste and the chance of damaging a part.
 In Draw Simulation Mode, the 3500i runs programs and simulates
machine movements in the viewing area. The machine does not
move.
Always prove a program in Draw before running the
machine.
