General

Color and Highlight

Lets you:

Select the colors used for identifying various manufacturing entities.
Activate the highlight display for some entities.

Note:

For geometry that is not found or not up-to-date, you can select the colors used to display the valuated parameters in the corresponding operation or feature dialog boxes.
Performance is improved when all of the Highlight check boxes are selected.
If the Highlight check boxes are selected, highlighted elements may hide other elements, making them difficult to select. For example, highlighted edges of a solid would hide curves that coincide with these edges. In such cases, do not select the Highlight check boxes.

Intermediate Stock

Color

Lets you select the color used for identifying the intermediate stock from a list.

Transparency

Lets you set the transparency value of the intermediate stock (0 to 255).

Notes:

To obtain a progressive transparency, set Transparency Quality to Alpha Blending in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > Simulation > Machining .
In a Lathe Deposition context, while editing Deposition Operations, an intermediate stock contour is computed.
In order to display this contour correctly, set the Pixel Culling parameters to 0 in Tools > Options > Display > Performance.

Tool Path Replay

Display tool near cursor position on tool path

When selected, displays the tool near your cursor position on the trajectory during a tool path replay.

Click a point on the tool path to display the tool at this specific position. The tool is positioned on the nearest computed point on the tool path.
Click anywhere on the tool or the tool path to remove the tool from that position.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Color of feed rates:

Lets you select the colors used for identifying the various feed rate types from the lists. The selected colors are displayed in the Different colors replay mode.

Color of kinematics checking:

Lets you select the colors used for identifying the various machine kinematics constraints from the lists.

Complementary Geometry

Create a Physical Product to store geometry

When you select this option, a physical product is automatically created allowing the user to store geometries required for NC Programming.

By default, this check box is cleared.

When you check the option, a new product node is created and added under during creation of a new NC assembly.

Scenarios considered for creation of this new product automatically:

App transition from 3D Part or Product apps to Machining apps.
Importing of an assembly by selecting a 3D Part or Product.

Personal Data Processing

Do not store username in output and log files: Lets you choose whether or not to store your username in output and log files.
By default, this check box is cleared.
