View Style

Quick Reference: View Style

  • Hero Image

    Switch between coarse and smooth wireframe display rendering.

  • Location

    Window → Toggle Wireframe / Filled

  • Keyboard Shortcuts

    Option / Alt+W

Changing the View Style alters the appearance of vector objects in your Workspace, which can be useful for spotting potential design issues and visualizing the final output from a project.

These options only change the rendering of the objects in your Workspace and do not affect the final work produced by the CNC machine.

All vectors in the design appear as outlines (strokes). This style renders quickly and makes issues in a design more obvious, but does not provide a visual indication of which graphics are assigned to which Operations. Use Preview to see a rendering of your finished result instead.

Changing View Style

Select your desired View Style from the Window Menu.

Edge Rendering Quality

  • Course: Lower detail, faster rendering.
  • Smooth: High detail, slower rendering.
