Give Us Your #1 Carbide Create Request

I am new to all this but would like to easily be able to move a vector object “X” distance away from an edge or other object without have to jump through hoops. Or make a straight line 6.38 inches or mm long without having to make a grid or box that big to snap to and then delete it.

Requesting the ability to Hold Shift/control when using the line tool or moving vectors to lock in either vertical or horizontal positioning for the next node/position. Could also include option for 45° lock.

When doing ramping, I would like to specify the height above the surface to begin my ramp so it will plunge from retract to ramp-start-height, then ramp down to the cut height. When doing many holes in an aluminum surface I spend a significant amount of the time waiting for it to spiral down to the surface to start cutting.

When you change to metric everything actually changes to metric. The tool library displays in Imperial unless you go through a very strange process to convert. I would have thought it would be a simple software conversion process. I don’t know how you guys deal with all the fractions and weird decimals. Bravo… but omg help.

Simplify 3d. It’s too frustrating for the average carpenter. I saw another software that gives options for shapes (like cylinders, or rounded one end).

Thanks to everyone who contributed here; we really appreciate it.

I’ve removed a bunch of duplicates, or requests that are more about Motion than Create.

Based on the likes so far, we’ve got a few things that are more popular than I would have expected.

I’m going to lock the thread now and ask that everyone go back through and “like” the items that would be a big improvement for them. (Just to make sure the first few posts don’t benefit too much from being there the longest.)
