View Toolbar

Above the view window is a handy toolbar that allows easier access to common tools. With the ability to create a double sided project you have easy access to switch between the Top and Bottom Sides of your project. The Layers, Sheet and Level Drop down bar have now moved from the tabs onthe left to the View Toolbar, making it accessible at all times. The other icons displayed in order of left to right are as follows

3D View Options

When working in the 3D view additional icons will appear on the View Toolbar.

Two-Sided Machining

When you are working on a two-sided job additional icons will appear on the View Toolbar. You will see an icon indicating whether the job you are working on will be flipped horizontally or vertically. This is important because the software will automatically mirror your toolpaths and geometry around different axes depending on this setting. To maintain the correct alignment of your toolpaths you must physically turn the material on your CNC machine in the same direction as you have specified during the design process.

The next icon indicates which side you are currently working on. This can also be clicked on to toggle between the single sided view or two sided view.

Note

The rulers that border the 2D View are colored to provide a handy visual indicator as to which side is currently active. An Orange background indicates that the Bottom side is currently active and any drawing or toolpaths are associated with the Bottom Side of your design.

Rotary Machining

When you are working on a rotary job an additional icon will appear. This button allows you to toggle the 3D view between wrapped display mode and flat display mode.
