Like with mill you pick a virtual machine up front that's tied to the machine controller. At any time you can see how your in process toolpaths will machine using both virtual machine simulation and part simulation.

Should the user wish to undock Operation Types from the Manager allow them to float the dialog.

What types of posts have been written for this? cutter 2011-12-21 13:56:00
