Kinematics

The Show Kinematics function activates or deactivates the markers that show all axes types except for Reference Axes. The visible marker types are as follows:

A linear axis appears as a pale blue ribbon line with arrows at each end. The current axis position is indicated by a darker colored band.
A rotary axis appears as a light mauve ribbon arc, with a single arrow serving the dual purpose of pointing in the positive rotation direction and indicating the current position.
A curve axis appears as a dark mauve ribbon connecting each of the points in the curve axis profile. The current axis position is indicated by a lighter colored band.
A tool axis appears as two 2D profiles of a holder and tool; one aligned with the X axis and the other with the Y axis.
A stock axis appears as a gold colored rectangle, with an internal red-green-blue coordinate frame marker.
A head axis appears as a gold colored 2D profile of a 90º head.
A reference axis appears as a red-green-blue coordinate frame marker.

The kinematics markers can also be toggled from the VM Grid toolbar.
