image\shwcntr.gif Show centerline: A line drawing of the center of the tip of the tool is displayed.

image\shw2d.gif 2D simulation: A two-dimensional simulation showing the regions cut by each operation is displayed. The view is changed to the top view automatically.

image\shw3d.gif 3D solid simulation: A 3D solid simulation is displayed where the tool is animated through all of its moves.

image\btn-rapid-cut.gif Rapidcut simulation: In this mode a 3D simulation is performed but the tool is not animated. Only the final result is displayed. For most parts, the simulation takes only a few seconds to complete. Note this type of simulation is only available in FeatureMILL3D.

See Preview simulation button for information on centerline simulation for a single feature or operation. See also Interaction between viewing and simulation and Simulation_options.
