    CNC Simulator

    Hello,

    I am currently taking CNC programming courses at George Brown College in Toronto. Currently i downloaded a MicroTech CNC simulator and everything works like charm at first. Now I am entering an advance programming in CNC but there is one problem. The MicroTech CNC simulator that i own doesn't function very well on subprogramming, so that means i cant visualise everything that im doing. My teacher has a very thick accent and its really hard for me to understand him but he's a great guy. If u anyone of you guys know a greate CNC simulator and somehow free to use, that would be very much appreciated.

    P.S. Without CNC simulator it is really hard to understand what all the codes can do. Making a program in the simulator made my studying so much easier.

    Reagan... Thank you all..

    Hey Flip_Ston3d, you're using CNC Simulator for the same thing I was. And you've hit the same problem. There is a paid version of CNC simulator that unlocks these functions.

    I got around it by writing two versions of my code, one that I would run on the machine, and one, the exact same, but with the subprogram copied and pasted in wherever it is called, to allow CNC Sim to test it.

    Good luck.
