Simulate Active Selection in CIMCO Edit
With Simulate Active Selection in CIMCO Edit 2026, selected NC code is instantly backplotted and simulated, making it easier to inspect and edit specific sections of large NC programs.
Simply select the section of NC code you want to inspect, and both the Backplot and Solid Simulation views automatically update to show only the corresponding part of the toolpath. As the selection changes, the simulation updates live, keeping the selected code and visible toolpath connected throughout the editing process.
Inspect exactly what you need
Simulate Active Selection makes it easy to isolate specific sections of a program and see exactly which toolpath moves they contain.
Select a point directly in the toolpath to jump to the corresponding NC line, then expand the selection in the editor to include the moves you want to review. The Backplot and Solid Simulation views update continuously as the selection changes.
This makes it easy to:
- Inspect individual toolpath sections
- Identify the NC code behind specific moves
- Isolate moves before making changes
- Select code precisely for editing or removal
More precise NC program editing
Simulate Active Selection also makes targeted edits much more straightforward.
When removing or modifying part of a toolpath, you can adjust the NC code selection while immediately seeing the corresponding result in the backplot and stock simulation. Once the visible section matches what you want to change, the selected lines can be edited or deleted directly.
By keeping code and simulation synchronized, the feature provides a clear and efficient way to make precise changes to NC programs.
