It looks like we need to be running the Beta ver. 3.6 control software to be able to take advantage of the eCabinets ShopBot Link.
I would assume it is a little further along than Beta testing?
Anybody using it daily?

I guess I'll be using it ready or not.

Roger...
Use the beta version 3.6.1beta29 on the beta notes page.. I found a little glitch on the previewer, but seems stable.

BTW I am running this on my desktop & a simulator not the machine yet.

I have been cutting with it. No troubles yet. The preview is glitchy, but, I rarely rely on preview.

Rob..
good to know, as I am going to try and take some link files to the shop and air cut them.

Having only a few hours using eCabs and 0 hours with the link, and a preview thats not all there makes me nervous!

I've been using the beta versions exclusively for the last two years and have seldom if ever had problems while running a file.

That aspect of SB3 seems to pretty solid now.

Thanks for the replies.
I only have 1 laptop that runs everything.
I down loaded it today and now feel confident in installing it.

Just to clarify, I am not running the eCab link Just the Beta control ware.
