G-CODE EDITOR Modile > User Interface > Preferences

Here you can set Simulation related preferences. You can use the Reset to defaults button if you want to revert to the default factory install settings.

To Access this Command:

click: > Simulation

Preferences > Simulation

Simulation Mode

There are two simulation modes.

•Simulate by Moves
One pick of the Step icon on the Simulate tab moves the Cutting Tool one complete move (i.,e., start to end). See Maximum Display Interval below. This option is the same as checking the Simulate By Moves box on the Simulate tab.

•Simulate by Distance
One pick of the Step icon on the Simulate tab moves the Cutting Tool a specified distance. See Maximum Display Interval below. This option is the same as un-checking the Simulate By Moves box on the Simulate tab.

•Maximum Display Interval
You can control the speed of the simulation using the slider bar and the Maximum Display Interval. When using Simulate by distance mode, the speed is determined as # of Motions / Distance.

Simulation Accuracy

Use this slider to adjust the simulation display accuracy.

Simulation Tolerance

The Simulation Accuracy slider provides a high-level of adjustment and the Simulation Tolerance provides a more granular level of control. Note that the Simulation Tolerance will have a direct affect on simulation time.

Additional Options

Disable Advanced OpenGL

Check this box only if you have an older graphics card adapter that does not support advanced OpenGL (i.e., OpenGL 2). Some older cards may only support OpenGL 1 for example. If you experience graphics instability checking this box may help resolve the issue.
