Not sure what is not the case? You say above that it was a higher
priority and has now slid. So it is a feature you did announce. It is
only a 5th wheel to you because you are thinking only of machining the
items. I want to use it to capture an item and import it into another
3-D program for rendering. For that use the uncompensated .stl is not
viable.

Fred, hate to say it but you are back pedaling big time here. You said
the product would have a particular feature and now you are saying that
it does not matter because it has another unique feature. I am not
saying that DeskCNC is not a power packed product for the price, as it
is. I am just disappointed that a feature announced has not come to pass
and is now back burnered.

You have made many references to a particular company that announces
features and then takes years to deliver on them. Be careful where you
are throwing stone, some may come back to hit you.
