Re: When?????

For ease of use and simplicity at least for myself I've used a Mac Desktop since the late 80s. For designing I utilize Mac Bootcamp and Windows v10 without any issues. For the shop I purchased a low cost Windows machine to run my files.

Modify Design and Make Files

From Design and Make I've downloaded a file named Compass 1. If possible does a procedure exist where a portion of Compass 1 could be modified, or has the owner of the file made it to where nothing can be changed?
