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
