      <p class="para_topic">Paint Feed causes the system to display feed rates during tool path display by means of a PAINT/FEED command statement in the CLSF. When a feed rate changes (for example, from a Cut feed rate to a Rapid rate), the system displays the new feed rate.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">This option toggles between ON and OFF. If you choose ON, the command statement in the CLSF looks like this:</p>
      <p class="para_topic">PAINT/FEED</p>
      <p class="para_topic">The feed rates are shown as alphanumeric characters (such as F10) on the screen adjacent to the point corresponding to their location in the CLSF. The feed rates are always preceded by an &quot;F&quot; character.</p>

      <div class="title_division"> Paint Arrow</div>
      <p class="para_division">Paint Arrow causes the system to display arrowheads as part of the tool path display. This statement causes arrowheads to display at points where direction of tool motion changes 90 degrees or more. This option toggles off and on. If you choose ON, the command statement looks like this:</p>
      <p class="para_division">PAINT/ARROW</p>
      <div class="title_division"> Silhouette Display Options</div>
      <p class="para_division">Silhouette Display Options allows you to change the orientation of the silhouette normal or the % of the tool embedded in the material. If Path Display has not been set to Silhouette Lines, this option will not be selectable.</p>
      <div class="title_division">% Tool Embeded in Material</div>
      <p class="para_division">% Tool Embedded In Material represents the amount of tool diameter actually engaged in cutting. If you want to see silhouette lines representing only one half of the diameter of the tool, for example, enter 50 at this prompt. This would represent the case if you were using 1/4 inch of a 1/2 inch ball nose cutter. The following figure shows the effect of changing the percentage from 100% to 50% for the same tool path.</p>

      <div class="title_figure">Silhouette Lines</div>
      <div class="title_division">Path Normal</div>
      <p class="para_division">Path Normal allows you to output a silhouette normal to the tool axis or to a user-specified vector. Choose between the two options, Tool Axis and I,J,K.</p>
      <p class="para_division">If you choose Tool Axis, the system projects the outline of the tool path onto a plane which is perpendicular or normal to the tool axis and which also passes through the end point of the cutter. If you choose the Tool Axis option, The I, J and K text fields are not available for use.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The I,J,K option allows you to specify that the silhouette is perpendicular to a vector of your definition (which also passes through the tool end point). If you choose the I,J,K option, use the I, J, and K text fields to specify the components of a vector perpendicular to the plane on which you want the silhouette tool path displayed.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The command statement for silhouette lines showing 100 percent of tool cutting, projected onto a plane at 45 degrees to the XC-YC plane, looks like this:</p>
      <p class="para_division">PAINT/PATH,SIL,100.0000,0.7071,0.0000,0.7071 </p>
