In the simulation, the tool is always displayed on the correct side, just the same as it is used
at the machine.
The programmed C offset around 180° only affects C axes, not spindles.
It is not possible to machine a thread with tools that are distributed between both tool
holders.
The following points must be taken into account for G code programming:
● After a tool change, tool mirroring on the second tool holder is automatically activated.
● When a TRANSMIT command is programmed, tool mirroring on the second tool holder is
automatically activated.
Selection options "Toolholder 1" and "Toolholder 2" are available for scratching when
measuring a tool. This is how you set the tool holder in which the tool to be measured is
located.
