Hi Mike
I am using Aspire and the inverse time post for my A axis rotary. I had the same
problem when I switched to the Acorn. My solution is to manually edit the posted gcode

to communicate with acorn. Tried again as mill and this time it loaded and ran. I then tried to restore the current report. The
correct file came up and the the ...

Hi Tom
I had read that but do not want to mess with the beta. I assume 4.6 will be the required

Which cnc12 software version is required for the router version ????
