simCNC Changelog

simCNC 3.503 Beta4 

000591/000592 – Fixed problem of missing license for the virtual controller when the computer had more than one network card.
000575 – The problem of simCNC overload in the case of long and demanding paths has been fixed (the problem has existed since version 3.500).
000579 – Additional messages were added about the inability to perform G41/G42 compensation.
000578 – The problem of simCNC freezing has been fixed (no response from simCNC) when the following conditions are met:
 – the simCNC configuration window is open
 – there is no connection with the CSMIO/IP controller
 – we will select the “Device Selection” option
000576 – Improved operation of the “Inverted” option for digital output signals in the simCNC configuration. From now on, this option works in real-time, and not as before after switching simCNC to the ENABLE state.
000582 – Fixed issue where Python actions were occasionally unable to be stopped manually.
000583 – Fixed operation of G80, it now cancels the drilling cycle correctly.
000584 – Fixed bug that caused simCNC (DMP file) to crash when we click the Diagnostics tab in the Gui Editor.
000588 – The ability to use a slash in the profile name has been blocked.
000587 – Fixed problem of Python actions not stopping when changing the simCNC profile.
000585 – Added support for carriage return to the beginning of the line in the Python console (“\r” handlers).
000593 – The description of tool parameters in the machine parameters table has been tidied up.
000594 – Improved operation of G28 (intermittent problem and occurred in a unique gcode sequence)
000595 – Fixed an occasional problem with gcode not executing on the G4 command.

simCNC 3.502 

000402 / 000082:

  1. Improved operation of the “Inverted” option for the “Drive Enable” and “Drive Reset” signals.
  2. Removed “Disable outputs when E-stop” option
  3. Added automatic shutdown of the output synchronous with the movement trajectory (M62 and M63) when E-stop.

This is to prevent, for example, leaving the laser head or the valve responsible for dispensing glue turned on when E-stop.

000562 – The number of places (before and after the decimal point) for the “steps per unit” value in the module settings has been increased.
000561 – Improved MPG accuracy for rotary axes.
000567 – Improved MPG dynamics and precision when changing the axis movement direction at high speeds.
000569 – Fixed warning about network card power saving mode enabled when a computer was equipped with more than one network card.

simCNC 3.501 

000506 – problem with units (mm/inch) in CSMIO-MPG module settings has been fixed
000538 – Fixed display of the green frame in the GUI editor for TabWidgetFrame.
000534 – added option to move TabWidgetFrame by dragging, cutting, and copying.
000541 – the “Drives power on” signal has been improved
000546 – the problem of missing path to Python in the case of a clean simCNC 3.500 installation has been fixed (the problem manifested itself in non-working Python macros).
000543 – Full support extended to G59.250 material bases
000545 – Added a message about violating the soft limit in case of issuing a move command from the MDI line
and other fixes
000554 – The problem of seemingly updating work offsets has been fixed. The problem was that the table of work offsets allowed to change the value of work offsets, but simCNC did not take them into account when they were in a state other than IDLE and ESTOP.
000552 – Added configuration of the RRO potentiometer (fast movements – G0) in the simCN settings.
000551 – Fixed an issue with MotionKit settings being lost after a sudden loss of network connection.
000550 Fixed a false arc error message when the arc start point was specified by a different work offset than its endpoint.
000540 – Added message when Python path is missing.
000436 – Improved the response time of the tooltip system in the macro editor.
The line number in the macro error messages was also corrected to match the actual line number (there was an offset of 1 line).

Important note!

SimCNC 3.410 release has a lot of internal improvements and despite our special efforts and an extremely long test period, there may be some minor inconveniences. For this reason, we have made the simCNC 3.406 offline version available, which, together with the previously made simCNC 3.406 profile copy, allows you to quickly return to the previous version. If so far you have not used simCNC 3.410, make a backup of the profile before installing it, because the simCNC 3.410 profile is incompatible with earlier versions of simCNC.
