I do realize that we are given the option to add ramped leadins to toolpaths but would it not be nice if we had further options? The reason for this request is that when you have a project with a large number of irregular shape cutouts It is not only tedious but time consuming to have to change the set mill then add a lead in set the offset as a spiral does not always work then set a lead out and its tail offset. Add to that that many of these cutouts have a rabbit so the time and effort increases. Can we please have some assistance on the machining and G-Code side of Microvellum. I have an application that I use at home, call it program X that I use to do some of these tasks as it is many times more convenient and faster than to set here at work and do the multiple steps required. I have attached a couple of screen snips of the cycles that program X provides, some of you may recognize it. Now don't get me wrong or take offense Microvellum is fantastic and I promote it at every chance Except in the area of machining. I can get the job done to be sure but I realize that I am putting in extra effort and at times rewriting the G-Code to get the results I am looking for. Again I find Microvellum amazing and I enjoy the experience until I get to the machining end .
