Terry:

 Ahh.. OK. I do have it.

  Here is version 1.011

 This version is more accurate due to a 2 pass loader. However, arcs do slow this thing down.
I can speed it up by implementing a sewpt tool algorithm, but I will wait to see how all else
works and if it is popular before I spend that development effort.  The sim works very well
on 2.5d general files, Gears and the like, for doing complex stl 3d models Ill likely have to
have a swept tool in effect or sim'ing woudl take near as long as cutting.

Just loaded 1.010.  Everything is running great, no error messages.  Tool has changed colors in the last couple of updates.  From a yellow to purple. (I'm color blind, so don't rely too heavy on the actual colors).
 
Sorry, I've been offline. Been busy plowing snow.  We got 12.5".  Plowed 8 driveways!  Life just don't get more fun than that!

1.0011 loaded and works without a problem.

Hi Guys:

   Isee its actually an INCH issue, it will take a day or two to recode for imperial not slowing it down.

Thx
Art

I will be looking forward to it.

Hi All:

  Here is a preliminary re-release of the beta for GSim. This is version 1.012

Its been designed to parse the input file only on startup, so it should load almost any file you have instantly.
It still needs optimiising in the sim, but for many youll find it fast enough for the jobs you do. Tortuous files
I suspect will allwys be pretty slow to sim to completion.

Thx
Art

HIYA ART,    V.012 works very very well even on the Testfiles which are HUGE in nature and use both #vars and Subs .

They are still a bit slow to SIM but that is to be expected considering the file.

Now to see why it does not run in the industrial version I have(;-)

Thanks for the Time, (;-) TP

Early observations on ver 12

  I like the addition of 4 views

   When I set resolution to "extreme" on a large file (Variables and sub programs) I got a system crash message with 3 options one of which was close the program.  Which I did. I can not repeat the crash, though to get more info on the exact messages.

    The tool # does not increment even though the tool name and display do.  There are other difference in the tool display that I have not yet figured out.  Maybe having to do with inch and metric?

  I don't perceive a noticeable speed difference between 12 and earlier versions.

I reloaded your tool table and the V inch (tool #9) moves thru the part, but does not remove any stock from the screen view.

Could the problem with the first time crash be that I had not yet "Enabled" Mach 4?

Karl

It crashed again.  This time i took pictures.  Again resolution is set to "extreme"
