Re: Looking for CNC software

Thanks, but been there, done that. Centroid wants over $1000 for
these "add on" features and its DOS software at that. I have
documentation that the original owner of the machine had these
features at one time, but it didn't seem to change their mind about
robbing me for a replacement. It seemed that the original owners had
the software installed in 2 separate directories on the computer. The
one directory that had the upgraded version is missing files and
failed to function. So I am using the basic version (of which I have
back up copies now).

None the less, I can manage with out these features with some file
splitting and post editing.
