ShopBot Link now has Viewer

[Gary Campbell]

Cut and paste from Thermwood Beta Site:

- Code Viewer

You now have the ability to view the code before it is written to ShopBot. The option is avialable by checking "View Code Before Writing to ShopBot" in Settings. When you click Write to ShopBot from the main screen with this option enabled, a viewer will appear displaying the code that will be sent to ShopBot. You have the option to Continue or Cancel from the Viewer. The Viewer can also be enabled by holding down the "V" key when clicking Write to ShopBot

Man, it is just amazing how fast things get fixed at Thermwood.

Larry is just making it look too easy to add features (pocketing)
This had to be something nobody even dreamed of.
I didn't think they were going to do this.
It was going to be a bit of a limitation.
But not anymore.

I tried the new release, 1.08.

The viewer is very nice, especially since the file output from the Link is encoded.

And the pocketing works well also.
I can cut a 3/4" wide dado with a 1/4" bit.

Be careful you don't have extra bits in the tool data base because the Link will use them.
I had tools #1 and #2 set up and have been using them just fine and, didn't know it, #4 had a tool in it. Don't do that. Don't ask why.
