GREAT FOR SLOTS, DON'T EVEN HAVE TO ROUGH.GO STRAIGHT FOR THE KILL.EXCELENT FEATURE.THANKS CNC SOFTWARE ALWAYS LOVE IT ALWAYS WILL.

I really like it as a FAST way to punch in a counterbore with a good hole finish.

Neat feature of computers, YOU CAN TURN ON CAPS LOCK and you can turn it off too.

P.S. , it is considered to be yelling if you use all caps.

James,

Of all the places for people to complain about the capital letters being screaming I would think a cnc forum would be the last place. I have yet to encounter a control that accepts lower case letters. Many times I'll spend all day with the caps lock button on. Sometimes I even have to re-enter my password because of it. But the point being with the nature of our trade I kind of think one would expect or at least not mind an electronic communication in all capital letters. Besides, maybe, and most likely, He's really happy and singing out loud.

Actually the use of capitals is discussed in the Forum Guidelines.

ALL CAPS makes things difficult to read. Not to mention that upsetting some of the biggest contributors here isn't a wise move if you value their input.

It has been pointed out that my last post sounds a bit harsh. Let me rephrase.

We definitely *do* understand that of all places a CAD/CAM forum will most likely see messages written in ALL CAPS. That's why the

Forum Guidelines have the joke about duck tape.

7. Using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS is the equivalent of yelling on the Internet. You *do* need to duct tape that Caps Lock key down for G-Code, but please untape it for this Forum.

It's really not a serious offense. At the same time, I feel it's our duty to educate newer users on the finer points of standard 'Netiquette'. That way new users can receive these pointers here among friends.

Nicely stated.

Hi

Using this forum consistently I have

improved my communication skills.

"among friends"

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

If I was not friendly in my response I apologize, I was merely trying to gently teach lesson #1 on "netiquette".

I don understand why it happens though and am sypathetic to those who must edit code often.

Just a note that if You use the Cimcoedit Editor,all you have to do is go to NC Functions and you can change all your text file to all caps or all lower case. Our Deckel Maho can read both upper and lower case.
