Mill Pro upgade to digitizing bundle

Post by slodat »

There was a conversation on the Facebook group where a few of us said we'd happily pay an upgrade price for the digitizing bundle. In a matter of a few hours Keith posted a photo showing it was now an option. This is one of the many things I really like and appreciate about Centroid. Installing my upgrade license now.

Thank you!

I asked for this less than an hour after I got my license file for the first time but was told it was not an option (just a couple of months ago)
I am so genuinely glad its now an option! I didn't want to have to buy the entire package a second time just to get the probing functions unlocked!

I wish there was an upgrade option for just the probing cycles. I have no use or desire to digitize anything. Full probing cycles for $49 sounds good to me :)

That’s great! Now I don’t have to sell my older Acorn with Pro software to upgrade...thank you for finally offering this option!

hello. fyi.. just because you don't have the Digitizing bundle doesn't mean you can't write you own custom probing macros.. the bundle is mostly for users that want to use the 'canned' probing and digitizing cycles built into CNC12 rather than write their own probing macros. :D Users could even develop a probing macro set and share it for free here on the forum as well.

Hi Keith - That is good info, I was under the assumption that was a no-no. That will give me something to work on.
