Simulating the rest roughing toolpath

To view a simulation of the rest roughing toolpath:

1. Click Simulation tab > Simulation path panel > Entity and select the toolpath you want to simulate.

   The associated tool is selected automatically, and the Simulation Controls are highlighted.

2. To start the simulation, click Simulation tab > Simulation Controls panel > Play. Allow the simulation to run through to the end.

   

   If you have not started another session since creating the roughing toolpath, the rest roughing toolpath is shown in a different colour, overlaid on the roughing simulation.

3. Click Simulation tab > ViewMill panek > Exit ViewMill, and select Yes to stop the simulation. The On button changes to Off and the standard PowerMill graphics window is displayed.
