Speed,
I could not find any software for a MAC.
There are some for Windows, this is one :

i will borrow a windows laptop and give it a try

do it the easy way spindle size plus 99 then divide the length by the answer


say you have 2.4m to fill with 35mm spindles
35+99=134
2400 div by134=17.9 call that 18
18x 35=630

2400-630=1770
18 spindles =19 spaces
1770 div by 19=93.16 or 93 and 94 every 7th spindle

Or partition the Mac and install windows on it for special programs.
