2. The CNC Editor

Code Regions

Code regions are special editor features that enable collapsible sections within CNC code.

Overview

The special editor codes #region and #endregion are used to create collapsible regions in the text.

Syntax

#region Region Name
G00 X0 Y0 Z10
G01 Z-5 F100
G01 X50 Y50
G00 Z10
#endregion

Functionality

Collapsing Regions

You can click the minus (-) symbol adjacent to the #region command to hide the section.

Expanding Regions

Clicking the plus (+) sign next to three dots will reveal a collapsed region.

Preview Feature

Hovering the mouse cursor over the three dots displays a preview of the hidden content without fully expanding it.

Practical Application

Note: SimCam automatically generates these commands for initial simulator settings, so that they can be easily hidden during a simulation.

Code regions are useful for:

  • Organizing long programs into logical sections
  • Hiding initial configurations during simulation
  • Improving code readability
  • Grouping related operations
