Upgrading to latest Acorn Release Question

I am reluctant to update to the latest release but want to. My current lathe setup 1) I changed some buttons around on the VCP ( I do remember how to update this) 2) I have a macro on 2 of the buttons (don't remember how I did this) 3) It currently displays the degrees of rotation on the spindle and...

Re: 4 linear scales on router with Acorn6 ?

SO what is the point of all the encoder inputs if you aren't planning on using them to their full potential??? Makes no sense.

Re: Fusion C axis Lathe post processor

You have a xzc post processor? Where did you get it from? Did you make it yourself?
Any chance you could share a copy?

Re: Multiple line input with MDI?

Re: 5 Axis simultaneous? Fusion 360 Machining extension

So you need to use the mill PP on the lathe? I only have a lathe pro license??? That is pretty lame if I have to buy the mill pro license also?
