You also missed my question where I asked you to name me another low
cost LATHE program that would do what I had written.
And in answer to your question, - No I can't use Vector to mill a
tapered thread because in a previous post I had with you and Bill off
list when you fell out you pram about me giving a copy of Vector away
I assured you I would destroy it, which I have done. All I have is a
current demo [ Uninstalled ] and the CAD program I bought off you.

So? If all software company's made good their promises on time it
would be a first.
I can't really moan as their development time has been spent putting
stuff into the mill program I asked for like face milling and DXF
import direct into the CAM side.
