VM Grid Toolbar
The VM Grid toolbar contains a drop-down list of all axes defined in the model (including tool, head and stock axes). The grid reference zero and orientation will be with respect to the selected axis. The standard viewpoint settings in the VM View toolbar are also with respect to the selected grid axis.
|
Simulation»Show»XY Plane Grid: Activates or deactivates the XY plane grid. Line spacing, colors, units and other settings are controlled by selecting Simulation»Grid (Ctrl G shortcut). |
|
Simulation»Show»YZ Plane Grid: Activates or deactivates the YZ plane grid. |
|
Simulation»Show»ZX Plane Grid: Activates or deactivates the ZX plane grid. |
|
Simulation»Show»Axes Marker: Activates or deactivates the axes marker showing the origin. Marker size, colors and other settings are controlled by selecting Simulation»Grid (Ctrl G shortcut). |
|
Simulation»Show»Kinematics: Activates or deactivates the kinematics markers showing the type and position of linear axes, rotary axes, and the TCP and SCP control point positions. |
|
Simulation»Show»Safety Zones: Activates or deactivates the display of the safety zone that surrounds objects that have a safe distance setting for collision testing. The safety zone is drawn with a fixed transparent color, so that the underlying object can also be seen. |
|
Simulation»Show»Workpiece Reference: Activates or deactivates the display of a marker showing the origin and orientation of the workpiece coordinate frame. This frame includes the effects of fixture compensation, RTCP and any local coordinate system (LCS). |
|
Simulation»Show»Tool Reference: Activates or deactivates the display of a marker showing the offset at the spindle control point (SCP) due to the effects of tool length or tool offset compensation. |
|
Simulation»Grid (Ctrl Alt G): Activates or deactivates the “snap-to-grid” mode of object construction using the mouse. When activated, mouse coordinates snap to a defined grid size. Hold the Shift key to temporarily (while the key is held) reverse the snap-to-grid setting. Grid spacing can also be set by selecting Simulation»Grid. |
