ACORN_SYSTEM-DRAFT-2.pdf looking for DXF or DWG

Hello Centroid Forum,
I saw this pdf on the forum in a Hurco Hawk 5 retrofit post.

Re: Virtual panel cnc12

Thanks for clarifying. I may have gotten a bit worried after reading the web site when my monitor showed up. Marty I took your recommendation and bought the Asus, seemed to be the best bang for the buck.
