HEEKS was just recently updated to 1.1 from 1.0, with quite a list of bug fixes, but printing is still useless. The default settings for the output work with the DOS software for my PLM2000, except for one code it puts at the beginning which the mill either doesn't support or HEEKS isn't formatting to suit the mill. I just comment it out and the code works. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK.
