Advantages

Macro analyzing tool

Monitor variables, their values, math and logic operations, alarms, and subroutine nesting at a glance.

Autocomplete

Boost productivity, minimize errors, and create custom templates tailored to your workflow.

Transfer to machine

Machine transfers now support DNC RS-232, available on desktop via Chrome and Edge browsers.

Compatibility

Compatible with a wide range of popular CNC controls, including Fanuc, Haas, Centroid, Mazak ISO, and Siemens 802D

Multiplatform

Works on desktops, tablets and mobile phones and is fully compatible with Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and IOS

Lightweight

Hard disk space low? CNC Macro Simulator II does not need much. It takes less than 5MB (tested on MacOS)

Features

Viewport (simulator/graphics)

• 3D tool path (mill)
• simulation (play, play fast, stop, next, previous, rewind, reset)
• mill - 5 view modes (3D, XY, XY removal, XZ, YZ)
• lathe - 3 view modes (+XZ, -XZ, XC)
• full screen support
• adjustable simulation speed
• measuring an object/coordinates
• dynamic zoom, pan, and rotation features are accessible through the cursor, dedicated buttons, or keyboard shortcuts
• show/hide rapid movement
• machining time estimator
• cutting length information
• min/max for X, Y, Z axes

Debugger tool

• assigned and created local, common and system variables
• highlighting lines in the code editor while debugging
• debugging options: play, play fast, stop, next, previous, rewind, reset
• called subroutine and nesting level
• math and logical calculations in line
• for IF and WHILE statement shows the actual value (true or false)
• adjustable debugging speed
• seamless manual control over modifying local, common, and system variable values during active debugging

Code editor

• customizable autocomplete system (available in desktop mode only)
• stores data even if there is a power outage
• code highlighting/indentation
• formatting code
• "Go to line" feature added (quickly navigate to any line with ease)
• intelligent adding/removing line numbers (automatically updates or preserves line numbers associated with GOTO, P and Q addresses in turning cycles, Q address in a subroutine call)
