Hi Danny, yup I've heard of that being used before for CNC type work.

I just don't know if the function that is currently in the library does a decent job of that or not though. I may need to write a new one to get one that behaves well, so I'm not quite sure when I would be able to give that a try, maybe sometime in v3.

That's OK Michael, I was more curious than actually needing this function now, V3 or 4 is fine.

Cheers

By the way there is a way to reduce machining time of complex 3D surface even though you use "dumb" CAM software and/or old CNC controller. You can simplify a true G-code using MetaCut Finish (http://www.nwdesigns.com/Products/MCFinishNutshell.htm) by fitting arcs, lines or curves (nurbs) to the point-to-point toolpath. -Petr
