Milling Machine Simulator 3D changes
This update adds a cinematic "show" camera, a first-person workshop walkaround, smarter G-code, and a long list of fixes. Here's everything that's new.
β¨ New
Show camera (F4) β automatically follows your program and frames the action as it runs. On the lathe it keeps a good angle on the cut and stays clear of the chuck and tool holder.
First-person mode (F3) β walk around the workshop on foot.
Cross-machine workpieces β open a part you made on a different machine and keep working on it.
Quick zero-point buttons β set your program's origin to a corner, edge or center of the stock in one click.
Automatic tool groups β tools are now organized into groups in the tool list.
More canned cycles β additional drilling and boring cycles supported in G-code.
Wider subprogram support β both call formats (M97 local and M98 O-program) now run correctly, whichever style your program uses.
Example G-code β sample commands shown in the INFO tab to make them easier to learn.
π§ Improvements
Workpieces are now made at exactly the size you set.
The tool-path preview now follows tool changes correctly.
Smoother freehand drawing β now seamless across chunk edges and works while the lathe is spinning.
Spinning workpieces on the lathe now look correct at any speed (no more frozen, backwards or stuttering rotation).
Smaller save files.
π Fixes
Japanese, Chinese and Korean text now shows correctly (no more squares).
A tool change (M6) now stops the spindle.
Cutter radius compensation fixes.
CNC lathe work offsets fixed.
Feed rate unit can no longer be changed while a program is running.
Drilling on the lathe now uses the drill's own diameter for cutting speed instead of the workpiece diameter.
G-code no longer misreads "X+ 10" as X0.
Invalid characters in file names are now stripped before saving, so saves no longer fail.
Better quality on the piece that falls away after a cut-off.
Camera no longer locks onto the workpiece incorrectly at startup.
Workshop favorites filter works again.
Fixed an error when the active CNC tool index had no tool on the changer.
Fixed cutting breaking (and a crash) after a piece was cut off and the workpiece was re-clamped.
Various stability fixes.
