Re: Pin Wheel Escapement
With a little imagination I make pin wheel escapements with Gearotic as it is. I use the cage function for the pins and fabricate the pallets in another program like Aspire
I?ve made several successful clocks this way including an egg timer

Re: Pin Wheel Escapement
Yes, with imagination, knowledge and other CAD software outside Gearotic everything can be done, of course, even the gears.
But the suggestion is a feature widely used in hobby watchmakers. If Gearotic has more features then it makes life easier for those who devote themselves to it in a relaxed way as a hobby.
