It is possible to set whether the tool path is drawn by making the tool
length offset or cutter compensation valid or invalid.
Setting value Tool length offset or cutter compensation
0 Perform drawing by making tool compensation valid
(An actual tool path is drawn.)
1 Perform drawing by making tool compensation invalid
(A programmed path is drawn.)
Always set 0 before drawing when indicating the mark of the current tool
position.
Specify the color of the tool path. In the case of monochrome it is not
required to set it. The relationship between the setting value and color is
as shown below:
Setting value Color

⋅ AUTO CHANGE Set if for changing the color of the tool path
automatically according to the T –code command.

incremented by 1 every time the T code is commanded. At the same time,
the color of the tool path changes. If the setting value exceeds 6, it returns
to 0.
