Actually the DRO is called "Estimate Time" and the format string looks like this "%.2f"    (no quotes)

Just looking for comments, don't need any testing, although it'd be nice to know everything works correctly on other PC's.

Fictional??? 

Yes, fictional as in not "for real" yet? 

I'm having a look at it now and I was curious to know as what use is the simulate run button if you don't have an elapsed time DRO? Do you somehow utilize that for something else?

Love the program run/run program buttons, that's a slick and a really nice feature. It looks and feels great -

Gerry, what do you want tested? I thought this was just fictional at this point, no?

Looks like it makes some beautiful chips, there.

A very productive looking setup and I'm envious -

Is this company out of business? Have you tried to contact them?

I was just going to say it was shear luck on my part that I would even be remotely close to thinking like you -

Guy,

Can you mail me the zip file because I,m very interested but the download remains corrupt.
My email is ahroest@xs4all.nl

Thanks a lot!

Andre

Andre,

I notice you have a lot of problems with downloading but you blame the file as being corrupt. I just checked this one for you as well and it's perfect.

Possibly you have some sort of security running on your system that will not allow you to download? 

Guy, nice work, you're a very giving man with your time. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say thank you for your input on the forum-

Oh, I'm sorry, misunderstood you.

I just checked and my Ctrl-J does in fact switch between "Cont" and "Step" on the toolpath screen and my MPG (Tab key) screen.

Hmm, not sure why it wouldn't be working for you.
