Option to "Lock" Parameters, Ballnose Corner Radius Calculations

It would be great if we had the ability to lock certain parameters when adjusting DOC/WOC/RPM/Feed.

For example: Locking the DOC parameter and adjusting the Feed parameter and see how the WOC changes relative to the Feed change.

Every time I change something it seems like everything else changes, so it is very difficult to compare different parameters.

Also, when using a ballnose endmill and the WOC is small the "Tool Drawing" only shows the corner radius of the ballnose partially coming into contact with the material.

But when if have many WOC step overs, the corner radius of the ballnose will eventually have full contact with the material. Same thing goes for many DOC passes.

I assume based on the "Tool Drawing" that the Speeds/Feeds aren't taking that into consideration.
