Comments on the current daily build

Hello all, I'm just going to put down some comments about my recent use of the current daily build of FreeCAD/PATH. These comments are not criticisms, just observations on what I have noticed as I worked through getting my Shapeoko/grbl back up and running, and then outputting gcode from FreeCAD to ...

It seems as though I am not alone in having some trouble going from the old ways to the new ways so I have been watching tutorials...
