Efficient Toolpath workflow

[Zbuilder]

I have an idea / suggestion and wondered if this would work for others. Maybe if enough users like it, it would be implemented in the next release.

#1 - Since the correct plane must be selected before clicking the Depth button in Linking Parameters, why not move Planes before Linking Parameters...

#2 - Move the Breakthrough into Linking Parameters under the Depth. I don't see a need to have it separate and above the Linking Parameters when logically it's added to the depth when posted and represented graphically on screen. Even the Drill toolpath has Tip Comp under Linking Parameters, which is pretty logical so why not for Contour and all tool paths where there is a Breakthrough field...

#3 - Depth cuts can also be just before Linking Parameters since it's about depths and the number of contours. This will also put Lead In/Out after Cut Parameters which is where Compensation Type is.

More room can be made if needed by making graphical representations smaller. There seems to be a lot of wasted real estate on some of those windows.

Any thoughts / other ideas?

The next release is already in motion....not bad suggestions but I am use to the location of items now!

True, I've been clicking on an area for years then they add it in another easier spot but I still end up going to the less efficient area to click. I figure they're always changing things anyway so why not give it a shot.

I'd like to have Axis Combinations able to be mass edited via "edit common parameters"
