Hello from us at the cncsimulator.com developer team, we have exciting news!
First of all, we hope every one of you is safe in these crazy times. Our hearts go out to all of those affected by this crisis.
We have been using this time to work on the new and exciting version 3.2 of CNCSimulator Pro. There is a lot to talk about so here we go:
So what is new in version 3.2? A lot!
Here is a list:
A big thanks to each one of you that has contributed with ideas, feedback, and suggestions helping us with this new update.

As we all deal with the COVID-19 crisis, we at cncsimulator.com have a small virus crisis on our own. Some antivirus software mistakes our simulator for a threat. This is called a false positive and it is getting pretty common these days. As long as you have downloaded the simulator from our official site cncsimulator.com you do not need to worry. We guarantee that our files are 100% clean from any adware, malware, spyware, and similar. As you may realize, it would be devastating to our business and the reputation of the company if there was anything bad in our software.
virustotal.com reports that 25 out of 70 antivirus software give a false positive. Among them are Microsoft and McAfee.
What can you do?
First of all, we do not recommend that you turn off your antivirus protection. That could put you at risk for real threats. Instead, you can put an exception in your antivirus software. That is telling it that you trust the file and that it should not give a warning or delete it.
If you have Microsoft Defender as your protection, you can follow the steps below to put in an exception. If you are using another antivirus software, please consult their manual to learn how to do it.
Click Start > Settings > Update & Security.
Click Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.
Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings, and then under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions.
Select Add an exclusion, and then select Folder.
Navigate to your installation folder for the simulator. It is often located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\CNCSimulator.com
Select the folder “CNCSimulator Pro”. Click on the button “Select Folder”
That’s all, now you shouldn’t see any more warning messages.
Now, when this threat is out of the way, remember the other one that is out there. Stay at home, simulate, and be safe!
We have more exciting news regarding the upcoming version 3.2.
Improved machines, lighting, and graphics.
Support for vises with collision check.
Stay tuned for more!
The Kaspersky virus protection software falsely reports CNCSimulator Pro as having a virus. We have had several users reporting this.
Here is what you need to do to get around the problem:
1. Open the settings Kaspersky Internet Security and choose Additional –> Threats and Exclusions.
2. Select Manage exclusions or Specify trusted applications.
Select the file or application to exclude from the scan scope in Kaspersky Internet Security. Optionally, specify the protection component that should not scan the application. You can learn more about setting up exclusions in Kaspersky Internet Security in the Knowledge Base.
Here is an example on how easy it will be to customize the popup-help in the editor, in version 3.2.
Let us change the help for G00 to Spanish.
In the beginning of the program, or in a separate include-file, we put the following line:
$CodeHelp 1 “G00|POSICIONAMIENTO RÁPIDO|G00 X.. Y.. Z..|Los desplazamientos programados a continuación de G00 se ejecutan en avance rápido establecido en la puesta a punto de la máquina, mediante los parámetros máquina.”
Then when we hold the mouse over G00 we will se the following:
We are working on the next version of CNCSimulator Pro and would like to share some exciting news with you.
In version 3.2, you will be able to completely customize the simulator so that it matches your machine! We have added commands to define your own G, M, and other codes by connecting them to your own custom subprograms or macros. These will run hidden in the background so that it looks like they are built into the simulator. You will even be able to add your own custom popup-help to match your codes.
We are also working on a feature that will allow users to simplify canned cycles into basic G-codes so that they can be run on any machine.
Stay tuned for more!
From Monday Nov 18 to Monday Nov 25 the support will be a bit slow due to a conference at cncsimulator.com headquarters. We will try our best to keep up with the support requests but we ask for your understanding and patience if your reply is delayed. At the beginning of next week everything should be back to normal.
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:
