My #1 most frustrating piece is that there is no ability for vertical text! So much of what I do includes it and is extremely time consuming to create it.

Some platforms are able to make
Photo carvings with v carve.

That would be an awesome addition for pro

EDIT FROM ROB: That would be a “Project toolpath onto 3D surface” option

Something similar to that of vCarve, Aspire, etc. You have an awesome CNC machine which should also have an awesome create software to compliment it.

Just my 2¢ worth,

Add option to use Vcarve after a 3D toolpath/carve. Example: Carve a 3D flag and then be able to add a Vcarve toolpath to carve the stars following the previous contour of the 3D carve.

I would greatly appreciate a sort of Advanced V Carve with Machine Resting. This would save on a lot of large cuts without manually figuring out where to place extra paths for smaller tools.

This may already exist, but if it did I would’ve thought I’d found it by now. It would be nice to force the tool paths to run in Y-direction sweeps only or X-direction sweeps only, so one can cut with or against the grain of the workpiece as desired. Thanks for all you do!

option to change (adjust) the stock thickness in CM. When the same design needs to be done from slightly different stock thicknesses the file would not need to be opened, changed and saved again in CC and reopened in CM.

I would like to see a rotary axis option, that would also calculate the circumference when the object diameter is entered.

I would like object groups to stay in/on their layer when combining with other groups rather than them being moved into same layer.

When designing and using layers I will often group “all” in order to make design adjustments. If you group “all” it pulls groups from other layers into one group on one layer.

I’ve heard of programs that cleanup Gcode to save time. Maybe something that does that or even gives us ways to tinker with where and what order is does the rapids.

I’m not sure if I made sense or just asked for a crazy hard thing.
