• Intelligent Code Assistance: Benefit from enhanced syntax highlighting, code folding, and auto-completion that understands your machine's G-code and M-code dialect.

• Powerful File Compare (MDI): Instantly visualize the differences between two versions of a CNC program with a color-coded, line-by-line comparison, perfect for verifying program changes and updates.

2. High-Fidelity 3D Backplotting & Simulation

Catch errors before they reach the machine with a state-of-the-art visual simulator.

• Realistic 3D Machine Simulation: The updated backplotter provides a highly accurate, material-removal simulation, helping you detect collisions, air cuts, and programming errors visually.

• Multi-Tool & Turret Support: Accurately simulate complex machining centers with multiple turrets and tool changers.

• Enhanced Stock Model Visualization: View the in-process workpiece from any angle with improved rendering, giving you absolute confidence in your toolpaths.

3. Robust DNC & Machine Connectivity

Seamlessly connect your office to the shop floor.

• Universal DNC Communication: Transfer programs to and from virtually any CNC controller using a comprehensive library of protocols (RS-232, Ethernet, USB).

• Advanced DNC Server: The integrated DNC server allows for centralized management of all machine communications, program storage, and version control.

• Shop Floor Networking: Easily set up a network where machinists can request and send programs directly from the machine control.

4. Integrated Tool Management & Database

Keep your tooling data organized and accessible.

• Tool Database: Create a central library of all tools, including diameters, lengths, offsets, and feeds/speeds, for quick reference and insertion into programs.

• Tool Assembly Manager: Manage complex tool assemblies commonly used in milling centers, ensuring the program and setup sheet data always match.
