Golden Oldie

Hey Calling in from Canada, West Coaster now formerly from the Canadian Rockies. Bought my Carvewright B machine in 2006, still working but no hours, meter never worked? Now part of Mens Shed where I will let other Golden grumpies use my machine if it holds out. Several Questions: 1. Have Designer 1.188 still in use on an old win 10 computer, my 2nd computer with win 11, reset and lost Designer setting on it, am I out of luck? 2. If I purchase Designer 5 does centerline text carve still work on it? 3. Any other tricks or tips on setting up designer 5 on a old machine. 4. Any thoughts on that free G-coder uses on other machines, ie the Good, Bad or Ugly. Have a Great Day Cheers Irv G

Hey Purchased Designer 5 update for registering for my Model B CW, although I was told can download Design 5 for other laptops for free designing but not for cutting on CNC machine.

Tough for old dogs to learn new tricks! But will try the G-code option someday.
