Add suggestions and comments in this topic and hopefully they will get implemented, and a note added when it's been done

Create subprograms for F1 cars using the 4th axis

One suggestion that keeps cropping up is:

Add a subprogram wizard for F1 cars using the 4th axis to rotate and machine each side eg:

Main prog:
Rotate to 0 degrees
Run machining sub program
Rotate to 180 degrees
Turn Mirror on
Machine sub program again (mirrored)
Finish


Maybe an addition to this could be that QuickCAM create multiple programs to machine 3D models at different angles :?: , eg:

Main prog:
Rotate to 0 degrees
Run 0deg sub program
Rotate to 45 degrees
Run 45deg sub program
Rotate to 90 degrees
Run 90degree sub program

Machining would take longer, but you would possibly end up with a more detailed model ??

Can it be possible to change the tool in the Car Wizard? We use metric cutters but the wizard forces the use of imperial 1/4" cutter.

The option to export code to automatically generate files for 4th axis machining as mentioned before would also be a great addition!!
