Hi,
We demonstrated the MachStdMill package at the CNC workshop last week and the reactions were very positive.
The router that ArtSoft had at the show ran MachStdMill all week.

In addition to the equipment in the ArtSoft booth, two sessions at the workshop showed the software. It was part of Brian's "futures of Mach3 talk" and I gave a 2 hr talk on using the features in MachStdMill (which the audience stretched to 3 1/2 hours)  ;-)
 
During the week a couple of things did crop up & they have been fixed.
Yet, there are still a couple of known issues that we want to sort out before the general beta release.
Additionally, there is also a fellow doing another detailed proof read of the manual - and I'd like to get those edits into the doc before release (it takes a while to proof read 160+ pages of technical info).

We had hoped to release the package this week, but my crystal ball says that with the combination of July 4th weekend, my time to get the open issues written up and sent to Brian, and then Brian needing some time to look into them, well, I honestly suspect the beta release it will slide into the week after the holiday weekend.

Stay tuned - we're close!

Dave

Hi -
Status update:
I have the MSM part 99% ready to go.

Brian has the hard part at the moment... There isn't a revised 3.43.x yet so the release will be held up a bit.
(During the past week Brian said something about a heat wave in Maine and something about he and the computers melting into puddles. As I live in Calif, my understanding is that in Maine, a heat wave is anything above freezing <grin> ).

In any case, as soon as there is a revised Mach release, I'll do the MSM testing of the changes to verify the targeted bugs are gone and then we will get the package posted.

Dave

Dave, I attended your sessions at the workshop and came away very impressed.  I'm looking forward to getting V4 installed on my Bridgeport and actually cutting some metal!
