Utility Button Functions
Preview
 button
Select a program to preview from the program directory. A graphical 
image of the program is displayed in the preview window.
Touch the Preview button on the side bar to  preview 
the program.
A preview of the program will only be displayed if an image of the 
tool path(s), has been created. “No preview available” will be 
displayed if a tool path has not been created.  To create a tool path 
image, run the program in Draw.
In the bottom right corner of the preview image the estimated 
machining time will be displayed (if it has been calculated by 
drawing the program).  If this timestamp is red, the preview image 
is outdated and a new image should be generated by pressing the 
Draw soft-key.
The preview display can be turned off by touching the Preview 
button again.
