Preset tools parameters would be a very nice addition

Post by markott »

It would be pretty awesome to be able to set up preset tools so that by pressing a button, all the options like start depths, flat depths, clearance tools, etc were pre-filled in. For example I use a V90 bit often in 3 different ways. 2 with different start depths, and the 3rd with clearance tools at a certain flat depth. When I change between these 3 types of toolpaths, I have to re-enter all the parameters. If there were 3 buttons I could choose from within the V-carve toolpath that I would give unique names, and would have all those values filled in already when I clicked on them..... that would put a big smile on my face. It may not sound like much, but when you spend hours a day generating toolpaths, something like this would really help cut down on mistakes and save a lot of typing and clicking.
