Understanding Graphics Requirements in CNC Simulator Pro Version 4.0+

CNC Simulator Pro version 4.0 and above offers more advanced and realistic graphics compared to earlier versions. These improvements provide users with a more immersive and detailed simulation experience. However, these enhancements also mean that the software is more graphically demanding, requiring a fairly modern computer with a decent graphics card to function optimally.


Common Causes of Graphics Errors

  1. Outdated Graphics Drivers: One of the most common causes of graphics errors is outdated drivers. Updating your graphics card drivers can often resolve many issues.
  2. Insufficient Graphics Capabilities: Older or less powerful graphics cards may struggle with the demands of the newer versions of CNC Simulator Pro.
  3. System Overload: Running multiple heavy applications simultaneously can strain your system, leading to graphics errors.


Graphics Troubleshooting for CNC Simulator Pro

If you're experiencing graphics problems with CNC Simulator Pro, please follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:


Step 1: Update Your Graphics Driver

The first step is to ensure that your graphics driver is up to date. Visit the website of your graphics card manufacturer (such as NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) and download the latest drivers for your system. Once updated, restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.


Step 2: Adjust Graphics Settings

If updating the graphics driver does not resolve the issue, try lowering the graphics settings in CNC Simulator Pro. Follow these steps:

  • Open CNC Simulator Pro and go to Settings.
  • Select the Performance tab.
  • Set the graphics settings to Lowest using the Auto-settings options.

If this resolves the issue, you can gradually increase the settings by turning them on one by one to identify which specific setting is causing the problem.



Step 3: Use OpenGL for Inventory Graphics

If adjusting the settings doesn't solve the problem, you can switch to OpenGL for rendering inventory graphics. Follow these steps:

  • Click on the Cmd Prompt option in the View menu.
  • In the command prompt, type use_openglinventory and press Enter.
  • Restart CNC Simulator Pro for the changes to take effect.


Step 4: Switch to OpenGL for All Graphics

If inventory graphics still don't work, try using OpenGL for all graphics. Follow the same steps as above, but use the command use_opengl in the command prompt. After entering the command, restart CNC Simulator Pro.


Step 5: Install CNC Simulator Pro Version 3.2

If none of the above solutions work, we recommend installing CNC Simulator Pro version 3.2. This version is lighter on the graphics card and may resolve the issue. To do this:

  • Uninstall your current version of CNC Simulator Pro.
  • Download and install version 3.2 from the official website.


Restoring Graphics Settings to Default

If you need to restore the graphics settings to their default values, follow these steps:

  • Open the Cmd Prompt in the View menu.
  • Type the command use_directxinventory to restore the default inventory graphics setting.
  • Type the command use_directx to restore DirectX for all graphics.
  • Restart CNC Simulator Pro for the changes to take effect.

Remember to back up your settings regularly to avoid losing any custom configurations.
