CNC VMC Simulator

This simulator is a great way to learn, or improve your knowledge of program reading/writing/understanding of G and M codes, macros, etc.

Very Clever Very Mindful Very Demure. Worth the download without a doubt

The overall functionality is good, however there is absolutely no way of sharing a file with the app. This means that you have to type out ALL of the Gcode you want to simulate which is a complete non starter. The developer replied to a similar review earlier and flat out lied saying the app has access to the Documents folders. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I thought that there would be some way of opening files in other locations, but there is absolutely no way of doing so. You can verify this by looking at the permissions the app is requesting and ‘Files and Folders’ access is NOT requested by the app . The funny thing is, you CAN save a file to another location, however for some inexplicable reason, there is no way to access other files from the loading page. I simply cannot understand this bone headed decision. Till this gaping flaw is fixed, STAY AWAY and DO NOT BUY THIS APP.

I run Haas vf2s every day and it’s clearly the VMC this is modeled after. I have to say you did a great job. I have 2 huge complaints. 1) There seems to be no way to bring a file into the program from outside. This is terrible as the edit interface is clunky to use. (Which is very realistic) 2) You can set your tool diameter and length offsets in a realistic manner. You probably shouldn’t limit length and diameter as you have. Machinists in the wild are using tools you can’t imagine.

Can you add a VPS? for doing quick jobs?
