Sequence operating modes as well as in the Test Run operating
mode, the TNC simulates the machining of the workpiece.
The TNC features the following views:

Test Run operating mode, you can also use
the 3-D line graphics.
The TNC graphic depicts the workpiece as if it were being
machined with a cylindrical end mill.
If a tool table is active, the TNC also considers the entries in the
LCUTS, T-ANGLE and R2 columns.
The TNC will not show a graphic if
the current program has no valid workpiece blank definition
no program is selected
