Using the 2D view

When you select the 2D View tab, the 2D view is displayed. For example:


 

Area

Description


The 2D View tab, which displays the name of the view and the currently active bitmap layer.


The 2D View toolbar.


The model area.


The background.


The colour Palette.

 

When working in an open model, the 2D view displays:

  • the artwork on the currently active bitmap layer.
  • the artwork on all visible vector layers.
  • sheets.
  • a preview of all calculated 2D toolpaths.
  • a preview of the currently active relief layer.
  • a greyscale of the composite relief.

You can create multiple 2D views, and for each 2D view you create, you can change its name.
