Dovetail Drawers Machining

Anyone else run into issues with the machining output in MV for the dovetail drawers on CNC with the Vortex tool? If you have a workaround what have you done? We initially had a display issue with the 3d model and had to work through that but that is now resolved after adding the missing tool profile and adjusting options parameters in the tokens.

MV Default does pocket relief for the 1/4in tool, then drawer btm dado, then the dovetail to it's depth, the boundary cutout. 

If you look at the attached files from Vortex it is not matching the order of ops and is missing some operations... The MV order of operations for machining isn't quite right and because of the machine token type you are unable to reassign the priority to force them into the correct order. The Vortex tool can't plunge cut so you're supposed to do a partial depth boundary roughing pass to make space for the tool.

* It would be nice if this was all fixed for out of the box Microvellum since the dovetail from vortex is built into the software already, just seems like it needs some modifications from the software team.
