Requested Features for next version

[sjwilson57]

I would like to see a tape measure or ruler function for measuring, like Google Sketchup.

I just draw a thin rectangle and enter the length and use it as a on screen tape measure. Yes, it would be useful.

Would help me stop counting the little squares to figure out the distance. I always lose count half way. :(

[ktjwilliams]

And I thought I was the only one that has to count them squares several times ... Ha

[aokweld101]

I had a issue where on my big carve that I'm doing where the ouside drawer didn't show the measurement from center so to make sure my measurement was right for a .75 spacing I used the line segment tool and deleted it after so I didn't have to count the squares.

I would like to see a "viewer" created so that all forum members can see the project regardless of the version it is written in.

Wouldn't it be great if you could see a list of bits used on a project before uploading it.
And I would like an auto-save feature. I have had a lot of shut downs and have lost hours of design work. I do save more often now! Anyone else get these unexpected shutdowns? Hey! The Forum auto saves ... it just did it!
Agree with those who would like rulers both vertical and horizontal.

I too have lost hours of design time.......I just count it as practice. I save very frequently.
The ruler in sketchup is sketchy at best, I usually have to type the dimensions in anyway, so with designer I draw it then edit dimensions at the top of the screen.
I also change the size of the grid to fit my needs.

My wish list....

1. Concur with ruler app
2. Capability to ad-hoc draw/sketch with dimensions
3. A LASER attachment!!

[papawbummie]

I Too would love to see this especially the Laser Thanks Bert

[myshop1044]

I have mention this before, variable "angle on draft", just like the custom feather.

[ScubaHiker]

Laser attachment!!!

I would like to see the STL import software be able to import files greater than 99000 byes. There are a lot of great carves available that exceed the CW import capability. And yea I do reduce the file but there have been a few cases where the results do not do the CW justice.
I also agree with the previous post for measurement.

Curious... is it the limitation of the size of the memory card memory?

If that was the case.... A Extended Memory, Memory Card....

Guy T, You may have missed it.... The LASER OPTION was available for a short time but could only be used with the QC and the 18 pin FFC as it supplied the 14.2 Giga Watts that it needed... When they went to a 14 pin FFC they deleted that option...

It was rough on the Bit Flag....

Here is a picture of it operating in 2008... It was only available to buy on one day... 4/1/2008.

Al Who; I have not run into any memory card limitations. The largest file (20 hour carve) took significant space but left room for several more carve files.

[gashawk]

Some of the STL files that are over sized come back as corrupt file.

[lynnfrwd]

LOL!!! You are so going to confuse people with this! LOL!!
