Funny, it works for me,  search "Millwrite 2000" in Google and it should be the first one.

Alex,

have a look at this software, it is very easy to use and is made to do just what you want.

Hi PatM,

interesting videos,  what software did you use to produce the PCB layout?

Hi Alex,

I have never used Visio, but in most drawing programs you have an option to convert text to paths/lines & arcs or something similar,  check the options and export as DXF, in most cases once text is converted you can not go back to edit the text so its the last thing to do. Or convert a copy.

Hood,

you have got to look at this one, I saw the prototype in Galesburg, its very smart, FPGA based, so its programmable. Not by the user, but if you ask, well, maybe!

Hi Jason,

I can't quite grasp what your problem is.

Post some of your code and lets see what you are doing, a photo of the machine and the job set up may be helpful.

OK,

If the View menu is showing select load screens, then select 1024.set and open

If this dose not fix it then its a reload of mach.
