77 Besides Retract Height you can choose if retracts should be carried out in rapid or feed mode. Once finished click OK to close the Parameters dialog.. Now use window selection to select the text you want to mill. On the drawing leftclick one corner, hold down the mouse button and drag diagonally. When the desired text is framed, release the button. The frame disappears and the text will have turned yellow to indicate that it has been selected. Next click on the Export Editor button, and this will show the NC codes for machining the text in the Editor.
78 To verify the generated toolpath we must simulate it using the integrated Graphical Backplot. To open the backplot window click on Backplot in the menu and then on Backplot Window as shown below. At the bottom right of the backplot window, start the simulation by clicking Start/Stop Simulation indicated by the icon . Simulation speed and direction is infinitely variable both forwards and backwards. This is controlled by dragging the slider either to the left or to the right where right is forward. If you want to verify a certain operation in the NC program, simply click on a line of the NC code to the left. The simulation tool will immediately position itself on the corresponding place in the simulation. You can move the tool one line at a time using the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard, or skip through the code a page at a time using PageUp and PageDown.
