Taskbar

The taskbar contains many functions and features from toolpath animations to Stop Conditions.

Tool

Show/Hide Tool = Select this option to toggle between showing and hiding the tool.
Show/Hide Holder = Select this option to toggle between showing and hiding the holder.

Geometry

Show/Hide Workpiece = Select this option to toggle between showing and hiding the workpiece.
Show/Hide Fixture = Select this option to toggle between showing and hiding the fixture.

Stock

Show/Hide Stock = Toggle between showing and hiding the stock.
Quality = Determine the quality of the stock. The quality of stock chosen will alter the speed/performance of Verify.
Refine = Enable stock refine.
Colours = Enable a unique colour by tool.

Zoom Window = Increase the accuracy of the stock by creating a cut out of the stock that covers the window.
Zoom Selection = Increase the accuracy of the stock by creating a cut out of the stock that covers a user’s selection.
Reset Zoom = Reset the cut out of the stock to the original stock.

Compare = Compare the simulated stock to the design model. The stock is coloured on the distance to the design model to easily identify any inaccuracies, whether too much stock has been removed (the tool gauges the design model) or where not enough stock has been machined.

XY Cross Section = Cross section view of current stock in XY plane.

• Z+ = Cross section view by Z+ plane
• Z- = Cross section view by Z- plane
• Off = Disable cross section

YZ Cross Section = Cross section view of current stock in YZ plane.

• X+ = Cross section view by X+ plane
• X- = Cross section view by X- plane
• Off = Disable cross section

XZ Cross Section = Cross section view of current stock in XZ plane.

• Y+ = Cross section view by Y+ plane
• Y- = Cross section view by Y- plane
• Off = Disable cross section

Workpiece = Check this item to apply the cross section view to workpiece as well as the simulated stock. When checked, the stock can be easily compared to the workpiece on the cross section plane.

Save as STL = Save and export the stock in its current form as an STL file.

Toolpath

Toolpath = Toggle toolpath view settings.

Mode = Toggle toolpath mode animations.

Stop Conditions = Toggle Stop Conditions. Stop the simulation process at user specific trigger events.

View

View = Select the view in which the simulation contents will be displayed.

Projection = Select the projection view in which the simulation contents will be displayed.

• Perspective = Renders the scene using a camera position and a field of view. This projection is in perspective view, the camera can move through geometries which is useful to bring it inside the holes or similar places when inspecting fine details. It is even possible to bring the camera inside the tool which is useful to see the exact overlap with geometries during collisions. However, geometries far away appears smaller on the screen, making it harder to compare the relative size of objects.

• Orthographic = Projects the scene onto the screen while preserving the relative size of the geometries. This makes it easier to compare the geometries at different depths. The camera position is always far away from the scene, it cannot be freely positioned.

Measure Distance = Measure the distance between any two points on a toolpath and geometries.

Show/Hide Plot Control = Show/Hide the simulation plot control bar.

Machine Simulation

Machine Simulation will detect machine collisions and limit errors. Toggle between Verify and Machine Simulation without having to restart CIMCO Edit Verify.
