Programming for a lathe with live tooling.

The Cplane and the Tplane are right but the WCS does not show a simple DZ plane?

What is the purpose of the WCS in relation to the CPlane and Tplane?

Thanks.

XY is always staring me in the face with the Dynamic Gnomon.

When I click on G in any plane it leaves XY as the shaded view.

What is that all about?

WCS is the view of the actual setup ( in the stationary position )

If you want a DZ plane..... go.... "Planes" (bottom toolbar) >> "Lathe" >> select the direction you want the D+ Z+ to be ( normally, rear turret machine has D+ in the X+ direction )
( you should also get another plane in the "Plane manager"


- NOTE.... selecting another view switches back to XY planes, unless you set that new plane as WCS
