    Important Things in 2D Milling Solids

    With V7.0 coming out soon, what are the big things everyone thinks are lacking in 2D milling and 2D solid Milling?

    My self, I think a tool database , nesting utility, better control on open features and some wizards (for beginners) would be a nice addition.

    Any comments?

    A tool database would definitely be nice. Since I do more 3d work heres what I'd like to see:

    High speed support. Arc, golf club & helical arc style lead on/tool path connectors.
    Surface flow cut WITH gouge protection.
    A utility to adjust feedrates throughout an entire tool path based on the amount of material the tool encounters.
    REST machining for 3d tool paths.

    A couple other things come to mind, but my mind isn't here right now.
