Convert / Create could be removed

screenshots are not good readable if manual is viewed on screen, could be improved, I used Nik Detail Extractor in Photoshop for the examples.

Looking into fixing the screenshots now as well as the missing parameters

Both manuals, section "1.10 How to unlock software features or unlock your Control" This is no longer how software unlocks work. Needs to be replaced with a description of how to import a license file. A new tutorial/guide has been added to our most recent draft release of the manuals. Th...

In the M&G code table, and the chapter 13 descriptions, the manual should not imply that M30 is special or unique to Intercon. It is widely used as an "end of program" code. Once, its function was to rewind the spool of tape containing the CNC program. Centroid controls have never nee...

... and yet, the Intercon program header has a "Units" field that can be toggled between Inches and Millimeters. As far as I can tell (and I have not invested the time to test it comprehensively) this was a good idea that was never fully implemented. I advise users to ignore it, and to en...

Mill manual, page 12: Note: When working with absolute values, the XYZ axes are used. When working with incremental values, the XYZ axes are replaced by the UVZ axes. This is because the XYZ axes reference the zero value of the workpiece, while the UVW axes reference the zero value of the machine i...

Hi Uwe,
We do plan on using more hyperlinks throughout the manual. They are super useful! Hyperlinks will likely be added closer to a full release of the manual

Will there be a router manual or will the Mill manual be used for the Routers? If the mill manual will be used for the router, it may be a good idea to have a router/plasma table graphic for the X-Y-Z movements. It may make the X-Y-Z orientation for a gantry machine a little more clear than someone...

Regarding the operator manual, could somebody at centroid take a look at the ID tools setting instruction pages? It seems to me to go from ID tools and back to OD, almost as if a page is missing? And 1 page (71) looks like a repeat? Hi there, you are completely right about these pages. They will be...

Great job on the new manuals, good improvement from the old ones. I like that more hyperlinks are implemented. Lathe: 6.2 RTG is from the mill 9 Group of G-Codes are in the table, but not described 11.3 "NOTE: For Acorn and AcornSix users, please use the Acorn Wizard to change parameters. Some...
