Options/Controls

View

• Translucent Viewing Default - enable this option to start the CAM document editing session with the translucent viewing enabled.
• Draw Current Layer Last - enable this option so the current layer is displayed on top of all other layers.
• Arc(s) slicing resolution (Degrees) - this field controls the displayed arc resolution for circular interpolation (true arcs). Arcs will always retain their true arc information but will be displayed as straight line segments to boost display speed. Note: At any time you can query on an arc to check the arc information is still preserved.
• Sort Layers Tree (Alphabetically) - choose how the layers are sorted alphabetically. 

Language For Drawing Test

• Language drop-down - choose the language when drawing the text on the CAM document.
