Hi Greg, I only looked briefly at it, and it looks great. Would you be ok with sending me some of the drawings of the machine? I've been toying with the idea to include a machine model with emc2 (using vismach wich now thanks to Jeff supports 3D objects, should be quite easy). Anyways, if you would send me a 3D model of the machine (I'd chose STEP as the export format from SolidWorks), it would be something I could work with.

I borrowed Solid Works licenses from my brother's company and taught myself to model the parts in there as opposed to solids in Autocad which made it much easier and then used the standard tools to label and dimension, etc. I can take HARSH criticism so flame away! These documents are 100% public domain - everything I learned to design the conversion was garnered from information shared here, on CNCzone.com and elsewhere so this is my attempt to give back to the community - and on a mailing list for a GPL software package seems the optimal place to ask for some input - also is there is somebody who is familiar with the details of GNU GPL let me know if referencing the intent on these documents as I did is appropriate or not. I was in a rush to get these out to the community by my promised end of July deadline and license was the least important thing so I kind of winged it. Come to think of it - I forgot to plug EMC2 in the introduction section - guess I can start revision 2... Thanks again.
