MillWrite is now completely free! |

| If
you already have version 8, you can download the free
update here. Otherwise, download the MillWrite set-up file from the Google cloud: Imperial
version of MillWrite: If the
Google cloud gives you
trouble, download
it here. Metric
version of MillWrite: MillWrite can switch between inches and millimeters, but if you normally work in metric units, it's best to download the version that will default the metric. You could also download both versions, but make sure to install them in different folders, or different computers. After you have the setup file on your computer, run it to install MillWrite. It might be best "run as an administrator" in case you have a lot of security on your computer. If you have trouble getting MillWrite up and running, or discover any bugs, send an email message to Eric at: m8059685351@gmail.com
The MillWrite help files If you want the help messages,
download this file, and then run
it:
Install MillWrite Help files Update 23 December 2022. I fixed that file so that it installs it into the correct folder. (Please let me know when you find problems, rather than work around the problems.) Install the help files in the same folder as MillWrite. The default is: C:\MillWrite_8
Unzip it into your hard disk, and it will create lots of folders, and within the folders will be other folders full of DXF files. Then you can import a DXF file with MillWrite. To browse the files, click the FILES tab on MillWrite, and then select one of the DXF folders. At the top of the MillWrite file listing screen, check the box that says "Show DXF and Data File As Images". |
