I tested it for about 2 weeks in December. I think you guys are going to like it a lot. I entered about 80 patterns from Custom Thread Art to update the website when he makes it available.
There package will do the layout for the centers of a closed wrap for you - all you need to do is enter teh starting and ending rod diameter, click a button, and it pops up - print it out if you like.
There is also a 3D viewer that is awesome. This lets you view the wrap at every possible angle. Not only does the rod rotate as if it were on a lathe, but you can move teh rod as if you were sighting down the barrel of a gun - while the rod is rotating.
Creating the patterns will take some getting used to, but once you get used to it you'll be banging them out in no time.
If there are any specifics you would like to know, ask (I do not know the price yet), and i'll try to answer. Dave is also coming to New York, so I hope to meet up with him next week.
