PLINE/tool relation
I have a dumb question I should know, but don't. I know on a dado, pocket, or cut out the the tool's diameter is taken into account, hence a lead on a through dado so you don't have rounded corners at the edge of your part. But if I apply a machining
Suggestion - Edit Product List Item Number for Multiple Products

Tapered Route from BENDING Token Not Nesting

Solid Model Analyzer - Lag
I'm not quite sure what is going on, but recently the Solid Model Analyzer has refused to work smoothly. When I go to analyze solids to make a product the program will hang for quite a long time, up to 5-10 minutes. Then it will ask for each solid material.

FEATURE REQUEST - Hardware "Drill From Opposite Side" on BORE Token
I do not see that the option exists to "Drill from Opposite Side" on hardware, but it would be very helpful for us if it did. Since it is on other machine tokens, is it possible to add it to the hardware ones? Since this option doesn't exist, we are

Face6 Machining
I have a tall cabinet with a division released to the shop. There are programs created for the face 6 machining for the shelf standards on face 6.

FEATURE REQUEST: Allow "Associative Drawing Name" dwgs to work for HWR Arrays
