When Will Better CADCAM Systems Be Able To Do This?
Multiple stock, multiple setup is what often happens in the real world.
I'm sick and tried or lame excuses from CADCAM companies on why their
solid cut machine simulation can't mimic what happens in the real world:

You need to change the way you come up with issues, provocative approach is not the way to go in the forum where people try to be constructive and actually helpful for the company who provided the forum.
You might have a good point, but it will be buried if you can't discuss in good spirit.
I haven't worked with those small cnc's which was on the video you posted, but bigger ones which can be selected with manual or automatic table has built-in handling for multiple stocks and setups. I haven't felt the need for such function in cam software (I rarely even use cam).
Example of such machinery:
Then I wrote reason why I don't need it. I didn't miss the point.
One thing I agree with you, is that CAMs could be a lot better than what they are today..

My example show multiple setup, of course it's not multiple stock per setup, but in the end you can have single file for machining.
