When backplot persed the NC program,
it detected, that there where two tools
used.
Since these tools have not been defined,
the screen will look like the one to the
left.
In order to backplot the program
correctly, we need to define these two
tools.
By changing the type and the diameter
of the tools, we can create the correct
setup.
Please select and enter the values shown
on the picture on the right.
These are the same tool values that was
used when the NC programs was
generated in CNC-Calc.
Now exit the configuration dialog with
OK.
