CarveWright Designer wishlist

I would like to see the feather option increased to 1", this would give you a more softer slope.
I also would like to be able to change the angle of the oval or oval region much like you can rotate a pattern
not just 2 options.

It's been mentioned a few times before, but I would still like to be able to rotate the entire Project Board like you can a Pattern
or Group of Patterns. By using a variation of Rotate tool, and locking the Project Board into place by degrees of an angle 1 through 359.

I'm on a roll, so don't stop me now.
Another request, at the conference MT drew a six sided figured and said he could
change it to 8 or 10 sides within the drawing package he was using.
How about adding that feature to the drawing tool package we have,
under the rect. or square button. You would pick the figure and enter the number of sides all to be equal.

How about an iPad version?

One item I would really like is a way to design a pattern "upside down."
Motivation: I'm working on a project that will carve out a 2.5-dimensional representation of a library bookshelf (something I'd seen outside a library nearby). The "bottom" will be the shelf, the "top" will be the outline of the tops of the books, kind of like a "skyline" outline. However, when I design this "right-side up," the skyline at the top gets placed on near side of the machine. When the skyline is cut out, it's too near the brass roller / board X-dimension sensor. If I could simply turn it all upside down after designing it, I think it would work much better. Designer allows individual elements to be flipped vertically, but not groups or the whole pattern. (Well, you can flip a group, but it simply flips each element individually).
Thanks.

I think you can do that by designing your MPC on the back side of the board and place the cutout on the front.

How about adding a keyhole router bit. It would work nice on the back of signs, picture frames and plaques.

If you do a search of the forum, somewhere here there are instructions on how to use a keyhole bit to create a hanging slot.

Search the words "keyhole slot". We discussed this in 2008.
You simply use the connected line , draw line,return to beginning of line , stop. Use 3/8" bit in designer , use keyhole bit in machine. I think the depth was 5/16", but I recall I had to play with it cause if you go too deep ,it will make several passes.
You want to make one pass and done.

I wish the snap state would be saved as a variable with the file. Every time I open the program and for each file I open I have to change the snap from the default of 0.500 back to the snap the file was made with. When working with a set of files, this can get to be quite tedious. When I open a file later, I may not remember the snap resolution I originally used. Please add another variable to the file to store the snap state.
