Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Will the Mach4 Configuration Manual be updated?
« on: September 15, 2017, 11:43:02 AM »
I'm guessing that the developers at Artsoft might agree with your points as that's how they are acting: implement new features and leave the documentation for a later time.
But I would argue that the most efficient use of the developers time would be to document new features as soon as they're completed. Isn't it much faster to document a feature while it's fresh in mind, rather than trying to document it months or years later?
Also when a new user finds a large number of options in the Mach4 configuration screens which are not in the documentation it does not make the company look professional.
I'm making a point which is critical of Artsoft but I want to also say that I'm loving Mach4. It's so much better than Mach3 in my opinion.
