Version 3.1 is finally here. You can download it from our download page. Here is a list of some of the changes and fixes done in this version:

• Fixed problem with absolute centers in lathes.
• Fixed problem with 2D view + lathes + R-arcs + abs center.
• Fixed problem with turning cycles with certain contours.
• Fixed issue with mill drilling cycle in incremental mode.
• Implemented U and W positive/negative direction for G71.
• Fixed bug with inches + tool reg + radius comp. Values were read as mm.
• Fixed crash in SimCam when drawing guide circle followed by guide line and start pos.
• Fixed issue with last G00 Z when postprocessing with a stock mtrl with non zero Z origin.
• Deleted last unnecessary Z movement in the milling PP.
• Fixed: Analyze function did not see tool changes when M6 was not used.
• Disabled error for T0 tool calls.
• Added alarm for arcs with incorrect endpoint.
• Fixed crash when a firewall blocked traffic to cncsimulator.com.
• Added keyboard shortcut ALT – U to open user CNC files.
• Fixed some problems with the Analyze function (NaN values).
• Changed the embedded PP for turning and milling so that F and S are reset at each tool change.
• Fixed formatting problems for some G76 parameters in the turning PP.
• Fixed formatting problems for $AddDefinedPart in cultures that uses decimal comma.
• Changed the standard milling PP so that outputs T instead of DT (using $ReadTasDefinedTool).
• Changed the Analyze function so that T0 does not count as a tool change.
• Fixed a bug in the milling PP script regarding zero points.
• Fixed Image Maker errors with file paths containing spaces.
• Added Translate CNC code function.
• Fixed problem with Heidenhain arcs in 2D view.
• Fixed problems with Image Maker in cultures using decimal comma.
• Fixed problem with Heidenhain arcs + inches + 2D-view.
• Fixed error “Window could not be resized” at start.
• Swapped M00 and M01. They where incorrect defined before. Now M01 is optional stop.
• Added new $-commands to create stock material and tools at run-time.
• Fixed problem with rough cut cycle, when it “missed” the programmed contour it went to -1000.
• Fixed problem with DPI scaling on high-res monitors with non 100% dpi setting.Fixed alarm when inverting workpiece in lathes using inches.
• Catching errors when reading simulator settings.
• Fixed issue with Analyze function and lathes with custom material. Mtrl price was wrong because it read the emb. price.
• Fixed so that M6 is ignored when having auto.toolchange in settings to avoid some problems.
• Fixed issue with Analyze and G71 in lathes. Path distance was doubled.
• Deleted “ugly” ET from examples and instead using $ReadTasEmbeddedTool.
• Added file associations for .cnc files.
• Updated a lot of intellisense popups.
• Changed engrave function so that arcs with an extreme small radius is treated like lines to avoid problems.
• Fixed some spelling errors.
• Fixed a problem in the Mill Tool editor where shaft was enabled by default.
• Fixed issues when pressing Enter in SimCam output settings text boxes. It closed the form.
• Fixed some issues with SimCam dimension settings.
• Fixed thumbnail issue with SimCam contour – rectangle.
• Fixed issue with help labels in SimCam menu “Click start of line” for the endpoint.
• Fixed problem with “Red Arcs” and inches.
• Fixed issue with CAM – Engrave on contours created by Image Maker.
• Fixed problem with Tutorial in inches.
• Fixed issue with new arc check so that arcs with a radius less than .5 mm is ignored.
• Fixed Misc – Insert command – Cutting for lathes. It always made a command for milling before.
• Fixed SimCam issue with arc tangenting two arcs. It created a guide circle.
• Fixed thumbnail issues with Import DXF, Image Maker and Frame Maker.
• Fixed crash in SimCam – Analyze and fix…
• Fixed problem when saving things in the Inventory browser while jumping back and forth betw. inches and mm.
