Enables you to backplot a file directly from disk, without opening the file first.
Closes the backplot window. Available when either Backplot or Machine Simulation is active.
This option lets you configure the backplot.
Before starting the graphical simulation, you must first configure the file type for the program you have already opened. To do this, click on Backplot Setup to open the configuration dialog. In the Setup dialog, select the Control Type (for example 'ISO Milling') and configure the desired parameters. See Backplot Setting for more information.
