Sounds great. Will I be able to pick which direction I cut around a part? On my router, it is very important that I pick which direction I cut. Thanks, Mike Hammel www.fancyfoam.com 1704 Bullard Arkansas City, KS 67005 ----- Original Message -----

Hi All: Just so everyone is on the same page, next version release will be a new development version. (5.0) and it WILL have some legacy issues unfortunately. For example, ..m1s and .t1s extensions are all replaced just with the .m1s . Macro's reside in separate directories with the name of the profile in use. So, for example, if your profile is Mach2Mill , the the folder will be ./Macros/Mach2Mill/*.m1s Also included is a toolfile tools.dat (Lathe or mill both use tools.dat) and it too resides in the profiles directory as above. No tools file is distributed, as before, but a new file is created if none is found in the new directory structure. I really didn't want to go the route of legacy issues, but its time for some radical changes to Mach2 so some things just had to change in the development version. I have kept a spare build of the current lockdown for bug fixes and repairs , but the development version will encompass future feature upgrades and such. This is all in preperation for what I was refering to as conversational screens, but I think the way its looking, "Functional CNC" will be my prefered name. Basically it will entail pressing a button for a function "Like pocketing, flange drilling, chocolate cake making..or whatever" and having the user designable screen become the only screen for that functional run. All these "plug-ins" will have their own directories and Mach2 will index them and present selections for them at run time. These changes will probably necessitate other legacy changes , but I'll try to keep them to a minimum. Thanks, Art www.artofcnc.ca Yahoo!
