  I see the software beta was extended through March.... what exactly does that mean? It will expire April 1? There will be a new version? It will no longer be beta? Also does the program export? I have my own CNC machine. Thanks Dave We will extend the beta through the end of May. We do not currently provide an export facility in the MyRcDesign Standard. We may provide a MyRcDesign Pro with that feature. BTW, what kind of CNC machine do you have and what kind of CAM software do you use?

  I have some CAD exprience but it has been a while.
  
  How do you make a drawing larger than 36 inches? I want to make foamys with wingspan 40-50 inches. Can the grid be changed to metric? Are you going to come out with addons to caluclate wingspan, control surface area, length, etc.?

  Please explain "snap to helplines" are they lines you draw for orientation, such as a centerline? I can't find much on them in the help section.

  Barn Stormer,
  The program will remain in beta through the end of May. The final price has not been established but it will not be excessive.
  
  Change the page size in File->Page Setup.
  
  You can also change the grid to metric in File->Page Setup.
  
  Helplines are shown in the tutorials but they are pretty simple. You place your cursor in the top or left canvas gutter, then click and drag into the canvas. A vertical or horizontal like will be shown - this is a help line. It lets you line up things in your drawing easily.
  
  BTW - we are adding lots of nice calculations like wing area, CG etc. I'm looking forward to these features for my own design work!

  Tim, didn't see your post earlier, as it was embedded in mine.
  I have a PhlatPRinter\\\. GREAT Machine for the $$ invested. A learning tool in addition to being a great CNC machine with OUTSTANDING support.
  
  My current work flow is design in AutoCAD or Sketchup. If AutoCAD, then import into Sketchup. Once in Sketchup there is a plugin that creates the necessary G-Code from the drawing. I use Mach3 to drive the machine. I limit cuts to about 150ipm for foam, and 55 ipm for wood. Transverse is set for 300 (fast enough)
  In addition to the G-Code plugin, I also use a dog boning plugin. Not really needed with a 1/16" bit, and foam, but it is great for wood.

  Just signed up and downloaded the program. It doesn't run. The error message is 'the procedure entry point GETMODULEHANDLEEXA could not be created in dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.
  Thanks.

  OK. I may have a VM running Win2K lying around. If not, I may have a install DVD I can use to build one. I'll give it a try and let you know if I can reproduce the problem.

  Ryan, was there a specific error message? I don't recognize the "configuration is incorrect" message.

  This is exactly what it said: "This application failed to load because the application configuration is incorrect. reinstalling the application may fix this problem." But even after reinstalling it several times it still says that.

  I just downloaded the software and was wondering if there was any way to have multiple "sheets" with different drawings in the same project? My plane is roughly 30" x 30" and is a somewhat modified delta wing and the wing itself takes up most of the working spaces.
