Users can change their simulation settings in BobCAD’s CAM software to make it easier to see what’s happening with your part. Let’s take it step-by-step and break down how it works.

When using machine simulation, there are 3 main modes: machine simulation, workpiece simulation and tool focus simulation. These 3 modes will change what you”ll see in the simulation interface.

When utilizing your machine simulation, sometimes your machine’s components can get in the way of you viewing your projects. So, what do you do? Hide the components. How, you ask?
