V-Cutter & True Widths

I'm using a V-Cutter for engraving. It appears that SheetCam uses the cutter's included angle and depth to calculate inside and outside offsets. However, it shows the true width as the tip width. This makes sense for many engraving applications, I'm sure. However, for ours, we are going fairly deep and would prefer to see the true width at the top of the cut instead of the bottom. This way, we could see when paths were going to intersect.

So, it would be nice to have an application or job option to select between showing the V-Cutter true width at the top or bottom of the cut.

Thanks
Brett

I'll will add this to the to-do list but I am afraid it may be a while before I get to look at it.

I can't ask for more... The programs been great and is extremely easy to use. Best money I've spent on software in a while.
