A drill op request and a thank you.

First I want to thank you guys for bringing back the drag and drop, copy / paste functionality in the tool library. It make bringing tools from libraries into current part setup much smoother and easier. The ctrl c, v method and mouse right click method was clunky and slow. 

 

My request was that you bring back the old style drill operation speed and feeds menu. In the old version you enter in both Plunge Feedrate and Plunge Feed per Revolution in the same menu without the "Use Feed per Revolution" checkbox. I see you made a little change in that it if you are just using the plunge feedrate you can see the FPR value and if using the Feed per Revolution menu you can see the Feedrate value. While this is better, just get rid of the " Use Feed per Revolution" checkbox and make either field editable and update each other like it used to be. 

 

Previously if you entered in a feedrate it would update and display the FPR and if you entered in a FPR it would update and display the feedrate. It was simple, fast and made adjusting the values very easy to do. There is zero, actually negative benefit to adding that checkbox and splitting the menus. Its slower and less intuitive. Less clicks is always better. 

 

Thank you. 

What you see now is what's going to be for a bit. We're still gathering feedback and real world examples of how this is negative or positive to users, so I do thank you for your contribution to the discussion!

Ah okay, maybe it could be turned into a legacy feature or something because its just impractical. I don't mean to be rude or anything. The fact that when you toggle into Feed per Revolution mode, you can't even grab the tool_feedPlunge expression that its defaulted to, is broken...
