About the operation list report

The operation list report shows a table of operations. You can use this report to control the simulation, order the operations, and edit the operations.

To display this report, select View tab > Reports panel > Operation List.

If there is a or a icon in the left hand margin, you have an error or warning for this operation.

During simulation, the yellow arrow icon moves down the operations list to indicate which operation is currently being simulated.

Retract — The name of this column is partly hidden by default, but you can make it wider by clicking and dragging the column divider. This column applies to the canned cycle setting and contains the following symbols:

Retract to plunge clearance

This short green arrow indicates that the tool retracts to the lower plunge clearance plane (G99, "R point level return", on a Fanuc control) after performing the operation. You can toggle this arrow to a tall arrow by clicking the short arrow with the left mouse button and selecting Retract to Z rapid plane from the context menu.

Retract to Z rapid plane

This tall green up arrow means that the tool retracts to the higher Z Rapid Plane (G98, "Initial level return", on a Fanuc control) after the operation. You can toggle this arrow to a short arrow by clicking the tall arrow with the left mouse button and selecting Retract to Plunge clearance from the context menu.

Retract to Z rapid plane

This gray arrow means that the tool retracts to the higher Z Rapid Plane after the operation, and you can't change it because it is typically shown at the end of a canned cycle.
