To Display CL Data for an Operation, NC Sequence, or a Set of NC Sequences
You can display the tool path for an operation or an NC sequence after synchronization by following the procedure below.
1. Click the arrow next to > 
Post a CL File and select one of the following options:
Post a CL File and select one of the following options:◦ Save a CL File—Select an NC sequence. Selecting an operation (using Operation on the SELECT FEAT menu) will output merged CL data of all NC sequences included in the operation.
◦ Save CL File for a Set—Select a set of NC sequences.
Save CL File for a Set—Select a set of NC sequences.2. On the PATH menu, click Display to display the tool path on the screen.
3. Click Done to open the Play Synchronized Path dialog box for customizing the tool path display. For more information on the Play Synchronized Path dialog box, see About the Play Synchronized Path Dialog Box.
 | The mfg_new_cl_player_for_sync configuration option allows you to enable or disable the Play Synchronized Path dialog box for synchronized NC sequences. When this configuration option is disabled, use the DISPLAY CL menu options to customize the tool path display and click Done. |
Alternatively, you can also display the tool path after synchronization as follows:
1. Select an operation or multiple steps in the Model Tree.
The mini toolbar appears.
2. Select 
Play Path on the mini toolbar.
Play Path on the mini toolbar.The Play Synchronized Path dialog box opens.
Alternatively, click > Play Path to open the Play Synchronized Path dialog box.
Play Path to open the Play Synchronized Path dialog box.3. Click

to play the tool path simulation.4. Click 
to stop the tool path simulation.
to stop the tool path simulation.5. Click Close to close the Play Synchronized Path dialog box.
If you are displaying tool path for an operation, all NC sequence tool paths will be displayed in turn. Synchronized display for HEAD1 and HEAD2 will be used for 4 Axis turning where appropriate. VERIFY and PROBE statements will be graphically simulated during CL data display.
When displaying the tool path, the solid line represents the tip of the cutter as it cuts the material (kerf display is available for certain NC sequence types). The tool path displayed as a dotted line corresponds to the RAPID movements (that is, when FREE_FEED is 0). If you specify a nonzero FREE_FEED, rapid traverse will be displayed as a solid line.

The cl_arrow_scale configuration option allows you to control the size of the tool path arrow. The default is 1. If you set it to 0, the arrows will not be displayed. Specifying any other positive number will scale the arrow accordingly.
