If
you already installed
MillWrite for Lasers, Plasmas, etc, download the update:
Google and Microsoft don't know what MillWrite is, so you will
probably get a complaint that it cannot scan for viruses. Ignore that
and select Download Anyway. If you get any additional warnings, look
for an option to keep it, save it, or run it.
If you have not yet installed
MillWrite for Lasers, Plasmas, etc, download the setup file:
Imperial
version:
Setup
Imperial version
Metric
version:
Setup
Metric version
|
MillWrite can
switch between inches and millimeters, but if
you normally work in metric units, it is less confusing to
download the version
that defaults to metric. |
Notes:

•
MillWrite for lasers, plasmas, waterjets, and wire EDM has not had a
lot of testing yet. I got it working with a few of the lasers, plasmas,
waterjets, and wire EDM units, but it might have trouble with yours, in
which case send me an email message about the problem you're having and
I should be able to fix it quickly.
•
MillWrite requires Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11.
•
If you have
trouble with the Update or Setup file:
Windows has excessive
security, so after you download the Update or Setup file, you might
have to click your RIGHT mouse button over it, which brings up a menu.
At the bottom of that menu is PROPERTIES. Click on PROPERTIES. If there
is an UNBLOCK button at the bottom of the Properties information, click
it, and then click OK.
If you have trouble
updating, open up the
MillWrite folder,
and delete these 3 files:
•
MW_LaserPlasma_8.exe
• MW_IMAGEs_L_GM.Mw8
• MW_MENUz.English.mw8 <-- this is in the Settings
folder
Then run the update again.
If you still have trouble, try the setup file.
