Did anyone try Puremotion 2.0 (instead of e.g. Mach3)?

Looks like I can get a free lifetime version because I already use a Purelogic ethernet based controller board for one of my CNC machine.
If sales is correct, it can maintain a proper mm/s feedrate when a motion involves linear and a rotational axis.
Something MACH3 can’t do (or rather lets you input an “assumed radius” in general settings) because it doesn’t know where in space the 4th axis is and this how far you are from the center of rotation at the start, end and during a motion.

I got an english manual covering setup and setting and I can’t find a place where the location of the A axis in XYZ is entered. So it may be that this feature does NOT work and the sales representative either did not understand my question or the answer of the russian technicians.

Ok, it only does the “assumed diameter” thing that MACH3 already does and even that only in the PRO version.
