This is real belt and braces approach..........but it works and avoids any nasty errors especially if you forget to select a face that is required for machining (which leaves a hole in the model).

Yes, well, that's how I started, and kept getting "nothing".
Ah well... I'm slowly getting there. Took me awhile to find out to create curves (You know, the manual just say's "you can do this", but doesn't show how!), because I *know* you didn't hand draw those! But, find them I did...
I managed to get my first (clumsy) model to path everything, and in the order I wanted them, so far... I have a few "tool impacts model at rapid speed", I.e., I thiink that means it doesn't have enough clearance when it does rapid moves between things... which is funny, because when you do it one block at a time, it doesn't say that.. .only when you hit "machine all quickly"...
Again, thanks for your help! I'm slowly digging my way through my 'show stoppers' list, and I really appreciate the help! Eventually I'll probably even get to use this on my mill...
Ciao!
