Basic Concepts

Appendix B (detailed explanations)

Set Model Origin

Preview

This displays the center of rotation of the model.

Offset from model center

This sets the location of the model’s center of

rotation by the amount of offset from the center of

the model.

X-axis Origin

This sets the X-axis origin point for the model.

This lets you set the approximate center of rotation by

dragging .

When this is , you can set only the Z-axis location for the

center of rotation.

Dragging the model moves it.

This enables you to zoom in by clicking the model.

You can specify an area to enlarge by dragging.

Right-click to zoom out.

This enlarges or reduces the view of the model to ll the

preview window.

This displays the location of the X-axis origin point.

Dragging changes the height of the center of rotation.

This displays the center of rotation.

Dragging changes the location of the center of

rotation.

Tool-up Height

Make the setting for the tool-up height.

The tool moves at the cutting machine’s highest speed (no-load feed)

at this height.

Shortening the distances for no-load feed (tool movement with no

cutting of the workpiece) can help speed up cutting times.

Enter the value for when the height of the center of rotation is zero.

Set this at a height where the tool is not obstructed by any obstacles.

Radius of model’s circumscribed circle

Enter the radius of the circumscribed circle for the model at the tool-

up height.

To set the tool-up height outside the model, add a numerical value to

the radius of the circumscribed circle.
