Notice how the G-Code listing appeared in the Program Listing Box and a red
outline of the tool path appeared in the Tool Path View Port.
Viewing the Tool Path
There are two viewing modes for the tool path: the size of the entire machine tool
envelope and scale to fit. Note that since the machine coordinates are not defined,
the window shows an area that is twice the size of the entire machine tool
envelope.
Now let’s set the machine coordinates. To do this:
1. Choose the Set button next to the Machine label in the Tool Position Box. A
dialog box for setting the Machine Coordinate values appears. Choose the
Zero All button. This tells Flashcut CNC that the current tool position will be
defined as Machine Zero, or home.
