Re: Free Surfcam 2D, just got it!

Actually, you can only copy/paste 1000 characters. However, I did
find a workaround to save all of the gcode. Install the Windows
generic printer driver and set it up to print to a file. Surfcam
does allow you to print all of the gcode, just select the generic
printer when printing. You will be prompted for a file name. The
file will contain form feed characters, but that's not a big deal to
get rid of if your controller doesn't like it.
