The current UI is for initial development and needs to be fleshed out into a basic CAM program.
- A settings dialog for machine properties (like axis-count and G-code header/footer)
- Tools need to be stored and named for easy selection
- path distances given in tool-diameter fractions ("d/3" instead of "0.66mm")
- g-code panel needs a heavy makeover (has a maximum line count before it goes blank)
- projects need to be loaded/saved
- multiple cutting operations (rughing, finishing, contour) should be possible (with and without chaining them into a single g-code file)
- Geometry should be able to be positioned, oriented and scaled by the user (at least inch->millimeter)
