- Vertical rotation angle
When the selected graphic coordinate system is a three-dimensional
one, such as 7 (XYZ), 8 (YZX), or 9 (ZXY), the coordinate system can
be rotated about a specified vertical rotation axis on a horizontal plane.
The rotation angle can be set in the range of -360 to +360 deg..
The vertical rotation axis on a horizontal plane can be specified with
the angle formed with the horizontal axis on the screen. The angle can
be set for parameter No. 4832.
In Fig. 10.11 (g), shown below, graphic coordinate system XYZ is
converted into X’Y’Z’ because of the following settings:
Rotation angle of the vertical rotation axis: 65 deg.
Vertical rotation angle: 20 deg.

- Graphic colors
Set the number of the graphic color representing cutting feed, rapid
traverse, and reverse in the tool path.
0 : White 1 : Red 2 : Green 3 : Yellow
4 : Blue 5 : Purple 6 : Light blue 7 : White
- Setting the graphic range
To draw a tool path within the tool path graphic area, set the graphic
range. There are two ways of doing this:
1. Setting the graphic center and the scale factor
2. Setting the graphic range maximum and minimum
Whether 1 or 2 is effective depends on which parameter was specified
last. Once set, the graphic range is retained even after the power is cut
off.
