    Custom Cutter Profiles?

    Hi all,

    We rarely use standard flat or ball end mills. Generally, they are more similar to curved router bits. Can I create my own cutter library?

    Seems like it should be do-able....

    It isn't at the moment. You have to define the cutters in the cutters dialog.

    Joakim had mentioned that he intends to add the ability to define your own cutter shapes. He mentioned this quite a while ago, but I would think it's still on his "to do" list. I would expect to see it eventually.
