User Manual differences?

[thosj]

The user manual inside the 1.3.1.beta install doesn't appear to be the same as the one on the beta download page on the site. The one in the install says 1.3.xx and later and the one on the download page says 1.3.1 and later on the title page.

The one in the install doesn't have any refernece to G-code Utility, the one on the web site does.

************Oops*******

It's the lathe manual doesn't have G-Code Utility info in it while the mill manual does. My mistake there, I was reading mill from the website and lathe from the download. Neither lathe manual has G-Code Utility info in it, probably intentionally. Sorry.

Hi Tom,

The Mill manual that the 1.3.1 beta installs and the mill manual available from the beta DL page are both version 1.72 (upper left corner once you get past the title page). This manual front says "1.3.1 and later".

The new Gcode utility button is common to Mill, Turn and Mill-Turn, so like all the common MSM controls, it is covered in the main MSM manual (which also happens to be the Mill manual).

The lathe support supplement covers only the things unique to the Turn and Mill-turn operations. So while the Gcode utility button is new, it's not turn specific and so is not in the supplement manual.

Both of the lathe manual installed by 1.3.1 and the one opened from a turn or mill-turn reference page are version 0.23. This manual front page says "1.3.xx and later".

so.... I think things all match up between the DL page and the installed versions.

Is that now clear as mud?
