| Select the Machine or Workpiece mode If you select the Machine mode, the control displays the defined workpiece, the collision objects, and the tool. In the Workpiece mode the control shows the workpiece to be simulated. Depending on the selected mode, different functions are available. | |
| Use this function to define the position of the workpiece preset for the simulation. You can use a button to select a workpiece preset from the preset table. Preset management

| - If you activate this toggle switch, the control opens the Breakpoints window with the following selection possibilities:
- Skip block
If an NC block is preceded by a / character, then the NC block is hidden. If you activate the Skip block toggle switch, the control skips all hidden NC blocks in the simulation. Hiding NC blocks If the toggle switch is active, the control grays out the NC blocks to be skipped. Appearance of the NC program - Pause at M1
If you activate the toggle switch, the control pauses the simulation at each M1 miscellaneous function in the NC program. Overview of miscellaneous functions If this toggle switch is inactive, the control grays out the M1 syntax element. Appearance of the NC program
