Simulation»Show<br />
feed interpolated motions. When using the Trace window and Timeline “Synchronize” feature,<br />
the corresponding motion is traced in blue. The trace can appear at the tool-tip or the spindle<br />
control point. The trace can be limited to a specified elapsed time, or it can show the tool path for<br />
the entire program. Trace options are set by selecting Simulation»Options (Ctrl Alt O shortcut).<br />
Simulation»Show»Tool Path as Overlay (Ctrl Shift T) (CERUN & GENER only)<br />
Selecting the Show Tool Path as Overlay function will ensure that the tool path always remains<br />
visible, even when it would normally be hidden behind other objects in the scene.<br />
Simulation»Show»Filters (CERUN & GENER only)<br />
The Show Filter functions<br />
are toggles that<br />
activate or deactivate the<br />
display of various components in the scene. Filters can also be toggled<br />
from the VM View Filters toolbar.<br />
The <strong>Machine</strong> filter toggles the display of all components defined<br />
within the model. This includes the machine, heads and<br />
any other model objects as defined and saved in the model with<br />
QUEST.<br />
The Tools filter toggles the display of all tooling components defined at run-time via the<br />
Simulation»Tools (Ctrl Alt T) function. This includes tools and their holders, both active<br />
and inactive.<br />
The Fixtures, Stock and Parts filters toggle the display of the workpiece and<br />
holding devices as defined at run-time via the Simulation»Stock (Ctrl Alt S) function.<br />
The remaining filters are only available when the Material Removal Simulation (MRS) license<br />
option is enabled.<br />
The In-process Stock filter toggles the display of the stock as modified by the cutting<br />
action of the tools. At the start of processing, the Stock and In-process Stock are identical,<br />
but they should be quite different by the end of processing.<br />
The Boolean Overcut filter toggles the display of any gouges in the in-process stock as<br />
compared to the original part. Gouges are shown in red. VM only compares those inprocess<br />
stock and part components that are associated to each other. Part/stock association<br />
is done from the Simulation»Stock/Fixtures/Part menu.<br />
The Boolean Undercut filter similarly toggles the display of excess in-process stock<br />
when compared to the original part. Excess material is shown in blue.<br />
The Colorized Boolean filter modifies the color of the Boolean overcut and undercut<br />
regions, based on the thickness of the gouge or excess material. Colorized Boolean settings<br />
are controlled from the Simulation»Compare (Ctrl Alt Q) dialog.<br />
