Auto-Focus Function
Shopfloor Assistant includes an Auto**-**Focus feature that helps you instantly center the 3D Viewer on the currently selected NC point. This ensures you always have a clear view of the exact location you’re working on — especially helpful in large or complex machining scenes.
📘 How it works:
-
Step 1: Select a line in the NC Editor; the associated toolpath point becomes the active selection.
-
Step 2: If the Auto**-**Focus button is enabled (located in the NC Editor toolbar), the 3D Viewer will automatically:
-
Zoom in on the selected point Center the camera around it Adjust the view for optimal visibility
This gives you an immediate, unobstructed view of the point you’re editing—without manually navigating the camera.
🎯 Operator insights
- Auto-Focus helps maintain spatial awareness when navigating large programs.
- You can toggle it ON/OFF depending on whether you prefer manual navigation or automatic centering.
- When working with multi-point selections, Auto-Focus centers on the first selected point, keeping the manipulator clearly visible.
