Simulation»Show<br />
The Transparent Zero filter modifies the display of the colorized Boolean comparison,<br />
to show in a transparent color all faces of the object that are in the tolerance zone between<br />
gouge and excess material. This setting can be used to see a gouge or excess in the<br />
context of the entire part.<br />
Simulation»Show»XY Plane Grid<br />
Simulation»Show»YZ Plane Grid<br />
Simulation»Show»ZX Plane Grid<br />
The Show XYZ Plane Grid functions activate<br />
or deactivate wire-frame grids showing the<br />
XY, YZ and ZX datum planes of the model.<br />
Grid visibility can also be toggled from the VM Grid toolbar. Grids are normally displayed with<br />
respect to the base frame of the model, but this can be changed by selecting a different frame of<br />
interest from the drop-down list on the VM Grid toolbar.<br />
Grid spacing, colors, units and other settings are all controlled by selecting Simulation»Grid<br />
(Ctrl Alt G shortcut).<br />
Simulation»Show»Axes Marker<br />
The Show Axes Marker function activates or<br />
deactivates the axes arrows that show the<br />
origin (i.e., 0,0,0 point) of the currently<br />
selected object. These markers can also be<br />
toggled from the VM Grid toolbar.<br />
By default, each axis appears in a different<br />
color; red for X, green for Y and blue for Z.<br />
The default axes marker color settings as well<br />
as the arrow appearance and size can all be<br />
changed by selecting Simulation»Grid<br />
(Ctrl Alt G shortcut).<br />
Simulation»Show»Kinematics<br />
The Show Kinematics function activates or deactivates the markers that show all axes types<br />
except for Reference Axes. The visible marker types are as follows:<br />
� A linear axis appears as a pale blue ribbon line with arrows at each end. The current axis<br />
position is indicated by a darker colored band.<br />
� A rotary axis appears as a light mauve ribbon arc, with a single arrow serving the dual<br />
purpose of pointing in the positive rotation direction and indicating the current position.<br />
� A curve axis appears as a dark mauve ribbon connecting each of the points in the curve<br />
axis profile. The current axis position is indicated by a lighter colored band.<br />
� A tool axis appears as two 2D profiles of a holder and tool; one aligned with the X axis<br />
and the other with the Y axis.<br />
