Is there any plan to allow the use of circle segment cutters in regular 3d toolpaths. I know these are usually more tailored for 5axis work but in some 3 axis surfacing instances these would really be helpful.  They would also allow for better defining semi complicated tools like high feed mills for more arcuate finishing stock.

 

Thanks

We are investigating how much would be involved into brining Circle Segment tools into some of the 3D toolpaths. It's likely not going to be for some time and it also will not be for all the 3D toolpaths; some of them just aren't built for that sort of tool control.
