Navigation provides an overview of the contents within an NC file. The overview is automatically generated by scanning the NC code for specified keywords and presenting this as a nested structure that can be expanded or collapsed as needed.
By selecting a keyword in the navigation list it will automatically jump to the corresponding keyword in the NC file. This makes it quick and simple to locate opposing positions within both the NC file and Navigation pane using keywords
To configure Navigation, select the Editor tab and select Global Setup. In the menu, expand Scanning and select Navigation.
In the section Setup structure users can specify the keywords that will be scanned within active NC files. Navigation structures can also be loaded and saved.
Click OK to save and apply the settings. Once you enter Backplot the Navigation panel (on the right) will contain a tree structure with the navigation items found in the active NC program.
