This is "day job" related, a lot of people have been requesting this from a post I made on a CNC machine forum.

The software was free, and distributed on the Immersion web site. Immersion has taken a different course with their business and discontinued the microscribe, there is a couple places you can get it on the internet still but they want money for what was free software!!

This isn't right. I found the free version after a couple days searching and here it is for anyone that has a Microscribe to download:

Well it interfaces the Microscribe tool which is basically a portable CMM with several popular CAD softwares. I use Mastercam at work to draw parts to be machined on CNC's. I can reverse engineer parts with the Microscribe and alter/scale them then machine them on a CNC lathe or mill.

Here is a microscribe youtube vid I found.
