Bad G-Code results
We have been getting some bad g-code results lately. In the attached, the first panel is the current (original) nesting setmill modifications and what I think it needs to change to. The center panel is the results without any custom modification. Line

FEATURE REQUEST - Separator Bar in Prompts/Wizard
We would like it if there were an option to add separator bars (or something similar) in Product Prompts and Wizard interfaces. This would help us group by categories within a tab. Currently, we use colors, which work ok, but we would prefer colors to reference the "type" of variable (green for "drives cost", red for "hardware related", blue for "banding", or some scheme like that) and have the separators to define the groupings. Not a priority request, necessarily, but could be a nice feature.
