Hello,

Not a bug, just a (possibly) missing option?.

In Spline_Vertex Lathe, on the "Move per Turn", there is no up/down to change the integer value.

It is not an integer value. It is a floating point value. You need to set the number turns value to 2 and over, then set the 'Move per Turn' to a non-zero value before you can drag to change it's value.

I was just looking for a way to quickly change the value in steps of 1, without having to manually enter a Integer(a number without decimal component).

That is only a limitation on the dragging, I can enter what ever value I want into the "Move per Turn" without having to change the "Number Turns". If that is a bug, do not fix it, because in fact, there are many times I do not want more than 1 turn, but do want a move on that single turn.

I also think the limitation of only being able to have full turns is quite limiting. Normally with "Lathe" I can enter a deg of rotation or a decimal value.

Actually I got it wrong. The 'Move per Turn' does work on one single turn.

I will try to solve the full turn limitation.

No rush, have a look when you have time.

Thanks,
