The Layers are a way of associating different 2D entities together to allow the user to manage them more effectively. For this reason Aspire has a Layer function for managing 2D data. The different applications and uses for these 2D items mean that organization of them is very important. This may mean that they help you to create the basis for the 3D model or that they are more directly related to the toolpath such as describing its boundary shape. Ultimately the point of all these different types of objects is to allow you to create the toolpaths you need to cut the part you want on your CNC. A list of these 2D View entities are described briefly below and more fully in later sections of this manual. Different entities are used to allow the user to control items that are either strictly 2D or are 2D representations of objects in the 3D View.
The 2D View is used to design and manage the layout of your finished part. The auto-hide behavior of each tools page can be controlled using the push-pin icons at the top right of the title area of each page. Once you have selected a tool from the page, it will automatically hide itself again. Move your mouse over these tabs to show the page temporarily. If a tools page is auto-hidden (because it is currently unpinned, see pinning and unpinning tools pages, below), then it will only appear as a tab at the side of your screen. Toggle layout buttons on each of the tools pages allow you to switch the interface as your focus naturally shifts from the design stage to the toolpathing stage of your project.

The software includes two default layouts, one for designing and one for machining, which can automatically and conveniently set the appropriate auto-hide behavior for each of the tools pages. The tool pages have Auto-Hide / Show behavior which allows them to automatically close when not being used, thus maximizing your working screen area. If you wish to see the 2D and 3D views simultaneously, or you wish to switch your focus to the Toolpaths tab at a later stage of your design process, you can use the interface layout buttons (accessible in the 2D View Control section on the Drawing Tab) to toggle between the different preset interface layouts.The 3D View is where the composite model, toolpaths and the toolpath preview are displayed.This occupies the same area as the 3D View and the display can be toggled between the two using F2 and F3 or the tabs at the top of the window. Designs can be imported or created directly in the software. The 2D Design window is where the design is drawn, edited and selected ready for machining.The bottom half shows you toolpaths that you have already created. The Top section of the toolpaths tab houses all of the icons to create, edit and preview toolpaths. The Toolpath Tab is on the right side of the screen.
This is where the design tabs can be accessed and the icons within the tabs to create a design.
