Install & launch the latest CNC Simulator Pro.
Activate (trial or license). Keep your License ID handy via License → Copy to clipboard.
Open CNC Academy and follow the tutorials:
Product tour & UI basics
First milling/turning program
SimCam basics → generate toolpaths → simulate → export G‑code
Keep the Online Help open for look‑ups (G‑codes, cycles, settings).
Simulate and verify: use single‑block, feed hold, and check units (
G20/G21), work offsets (G54…G59), and tool lengths.

Recommended first steps inside the app
Set your units (mm/inch) and other preferences.
Create or load a simple SimCam project (e.g., a pocket or facing routine).
Run the simulation; watch toolpaths, collisions, and messages.
Tip: Keep a standard preamble in your programs (e.g.,
G17 G21 G40 G49 G80 G90,G54) so results match the tutorials.
