Yes, I bought mine a little before you and all the advertisments clearly show (and I believe stated) centerline text.

I also bought the probe and used the editor. They removed the pattern loading...

This is getting close to sending me over the top. First they charge us for the centerline that was advertised as coming with the machine. Then they take away the functionality of the pattern editor...

Yes, give us back the pattern editor that we paid for! (yes, I have the probe...)

I saw this program just today and gave it a try. I went back and joined that forum just so I could leave a "thanks". I'm still awaiting validation over there and since you posted about it here...
...

I have absolutely nothing against protecting the commercial ptn's. It makes sense and promotes commercial development. But not at the cost we have to pay now!

It's been mentioned by others that...

"Now I'll have to admit that I like the ability to edit patterns as well and though the changes in Designer have slightly changed they way we can work with various formats, it by no means prevents...

"The ONLY limitation to you in 1.124 is that you can NOT open a PTN file (new or old) into the Pattern Editor to edit it except for PTN files you create in 1.124 yourself .."

Enough of a reason...

I don't post much but thought I would give a thanks here for the users updating other users.

If I hadn't been gone for two weeks, I would just have blindly updated to 1.123. Thank goodness I...

As much as I want centerline, and fully believed it was included with the machine when I bought it per advertisements, the above is a breaker. I play with computers as much as anything else and this...

When I got my probe and scrambled to make a sled so I could test it, I mistakenly remembered the max height at 2 1/2 inches. It worked just fine but the probe tip would only go down 2 1/4 inches...

Ah, thanks. I was hoping I just missed something... All we can do is wait I suppose for a software update...

I recently went through my patterns (downloaded every one I could find) and found a "Dragon Plaque" that was just beautiful. Then I noticed it had one slight edge of it's round outer edge cut off. It...

I use it also but am not impressed by it's construction. It doesn't go back in all the way which looks bad and gets in the way. It also doesn't lock out in the "lock" position. I pull it, it moves...

Meat, Thank you. Yes I would be seriously interested in a clock project for the CW. What could be better than carving a working mechanical device?

Dan, There's clocks here?? I thought I saw (and...

Meat, You carved a clock on the CW??

If so, any chance of sharing that project? I would even pay for a working clock project. Fun and useful...

what if you don't select center?

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to work with the machine for a while. Sometimes life is unkind...

Hopefully, I'll explore a little more and see if there's a...

You know, that's not a terribly bad idea and I never thought of it. In a pinch, it would work. Be a hassle, but it would work. Thanks!

Dave, interesting about the light. My machine is not well lit at all, so I'll look into lighting it up to see what happens.

Yes, you can start/stop/pause in general but there is no way to back up....

Rick, I've read of your problems. You have the patience of a saint! On the brite side, it all makes me feel much better about my machine (sorry).

And I finally recarved that project that got...

I like the idea of using a tube to lubricate the shaft. Ken, thanks for the idea of the narrow tubing. I never thought of that and it would cut down considerably the amount of lubricant needed to...

I mentioned in another post that I got hit with a bad case of stair stepping on a project. Completely ruined the carve and made me think right away that there was a major problem with my machine....

Did you find a source of liquid Moly or did you spray many cans into the tube? I have seen powder and spray types, but never straight liquid?

And yes, I also like the Moly lube. The greasy stuff...

I was trying to solve the stair stepping problem with my maching yesterday and while looking at the brass gear board sensor, I noticed a small adjustment screw. It's on the right side (with the clear...

Thanks Jeff. Good idea about the cutting depth. I've used that for toher projects and it seems pretty accurate.

Ernie, boy that makes me feel a whole lot better ;-) I'll just keep my fingers...

Thanks. No, this carve was the last of the night and just a test while I worked on something else. Since it's a holiday weekend, I should be able to run another test or two before I panic and call...
