Wooo! 3D tools! Sorry, couldn't resist.

Hows the syncing... do you get that in Lathe, or do you still need MT for that?

MT only... Haven't been using the lathe side. I guess it's going away?

Last I spoke with my reseller...he indicated that things were going to migrate to mill-turn and lathe was going to be retired.

Free Mill-Turn for lathe users?

If this is true, that might be the last nail in the coffin for MC in our shop.

I don't see the management buying Mill-Turn when we've already paid for the lathe module. Hopefully the last version before lathe drops isn't too buggy.

You're a funny delusional guy lol

Really... lucky Lathe users.. Imagine getting all that extra stuff, along with MP.NET... no more user edit posts.

TBF.... Lathe has been semi-retired, for the best part of 15 years.... :whistling:

Lathe has gotten as much attention as red-headed stepchild with hep and AIDS. The UI has not changed since V8. Not X8, V8.

If you don't believe me, look at the link below. I know its for V9.1, you will just have to trust me that V8 looked exactly the same. And for the few menu's I bothered to look at....they are still the same, 25+ years later.

Yes, they have added functionality. But wow...25 years without bothering with the user interface. The red-headed stepchild likely has gotten more attention.

/end rant

The conversation probably went like this for the past 20 years:

Developer/User:"Hey are we going to update lathe in anyway?"

Management: "No we are going to kill that and roll lathe into the mill-turn product/code base"

Developer: "Sounds good boss. I will go look at cat videos online and pretend to work....
User: "WTF why can't you resize this window, etc, why is this so ghetto...?"

Management: "Don't worry the new mill-turn module is coming and will address all of your issues and make magic! Trust me Bro!"

Thought I heard it somewhere.
 I'm probably FOS on this particular point.

This question is offensively racist!
The interface is not "ghetto", it's "DOS 2.0 themed" for us very old school users
