I'd pay 20 bucks for you to give me JUST the lathe updates. Why do I need to pay for all the other machine updates if I only have a lathe??

Be happy with on tag for all.

I suppose lathe is the minority, so if they divide costs per sold license, lathe will be the most expensive one ;)

we are close to a alpha test period (usually a week or two) and then on to public beta test time as usual.

Did I read that taking screenshots of the wizard is no longer required...? That alone would be worth it!!!

in the wizard, CTRL P makes the screen shots for you. saves all of them to PDF

we will work on an "updater" app/page/screen for v5.50.0 release.

Screen shots are a piece of cake now and very useful to include on your backup thumb drive. Takes less than 5 seconds. That’s the EASY part of installing new versions.

Every time I update my Vectric software I think “man, I wish my Centroid software was this easy”. :mrgreen:

Yeah, yeah, so how much longer until it's ready? :D

Even Vectric can keep my custom GUI the same when it upgrades, just sayin' :lol:
