To do my job, so I can wait at home for the check in the mail.  Anything above that, is just a bonus.

Legacy surface toolpaths updated to the modern GUI. New tool management for milling

Upon startup I expect to see a change from the X⁷ icon that pops up to

Big +1 to those two.

I expect plenty of new bugs, and the lack of any progress on old bugs. Oh, and a new mouse pad too.

I expect to wait for X7 MU1 before switching!

I'm going to an X6 rollout next week..
Hopefully I will get some info that can be made public

[Matthew Hajicek™ -Midland Tech]

I think my biggest item would be to fix toolholders.  I'm also looking forward to the download-a-pizza function.

I would like to see machine simulation that works with the top/front, top/back, and top/right and left sides of a tomb stone rather than just top/front.


And far less crashes / better stability when using stock models.

VERIFY IN TURBO, using any WCS created or the standard ones, other then only top.

+1 on better verify.

How about a couple simple enhancements:

Lathe STL Stock & Mill Edge break on 2D contour, kind of like Corner breaks on lathe??? How about 4th Axis profile off centerline without having to use Multiaxis?

Pretty simple isn't it?

Verify posted code
Step forward and back in verify
GUI for all toolpaths (standardisation)
Toolholder definition to be set with tools
More openness from CNC when there are problems, and what bugs have been fxed (I know the readme on X6mu1 says this - big step in the right direction).

[Greg Williams]

Hopefully some more new stuff for Lathes

[Aeroguy]

1. Better Toolpath verification and gouge checking to the model would be nice.
2. Better solid chaining
3. Better Stock Model re-machining
4. Less Bugs
5. Oh, and not having to "simplify" splines just so I can get a decent toolpth would be nice

[LancoUSA]

a teach function to create macros so that you can create a macro to run inside mastercam?

[Rwhiting]

How about separating the trim/extend function. I have to constantly toggle between trim mode and extend mode when creating and modifying geometry. Just give me two buttons that do each function.

Multi-threading for 2D high speed toolpaths.
