When running a program can the normal display:

Be changed so it displays the tool path to look like this:

Sure would be nice if it can be set to display this way.

Please do - It would be a great way to see where a job is in the cycle.

As a user migrating from Mach3, I would like to see this as well. It was one of the few features of that software that I liked. A 3d view while running is nice.

You guys mean a Run Time Graphics display? Centroid has RTG:

Or something else?

Marty,

Take a look at my original post again.

The first photo is the standard 2D Run Time Graphics display and in my 2nd photo I show the 3D display you can see but you cannot see the 3D graphic while the system is executing a G code file. My suggestion is that you be able to change from a 2D to 3D display on the Real or Run Time Graphics display.

OK, I understand you now Orin. Sounds like Keith did too and took your suggestion into consideration for a future release.
By the way, how are you coming with Acorn?

in 2021 it is still not possible to see the work in 3D? I didn’t find it in CNC12.

When using F8 GRAPH, you can use the F2 key to view an orthographic projection.
