Programming graphics

Generating / not generating graphics during
programming

While you are writing the part program, you can have the TNC
generate a 2-D pencil-trace graphic of the programmed contour.

To switch the screen layout to displaying program blocks to the
left and graphics to the right, press the SPLIT SCREEN key and
PROGRAM + GRAPHICS soft key

Set the AUTO DRAW soft key to ON. While you
are entering the program lines, the TNC generates
each path contour you program in the graphics
window in the right screen half

If you do not wish to have the TNC generate graphics during
programming, set the AUTO DRAW soft key to OFF.

Even when AUTO DRAW ON is active, graphics are not generated
for program section repeats.

Generating a graphic for an existing program

Use the arrow keys to select the block up to which you want the
graphic to be generated, or press GOTO and enter the desired
block number
