Rekd is on a distinguished road

You got about as far as I've gone. I haven't tried to do any toolpathing with VBS yet, so I can't help you. Sorry.

This may be of some help, though. Good luck!

'//     File Name:   Toolpath Door CHook.vbs*
'//
'//   Description:   Run Door CHook, create <style> door, set level 1 INSIDE and level 2 OUTSIDE
'//                  then create one door, exit chook. Create your operations and save them to 
'//                  DOOR.OP9 And run this script
'//
'//      Comments:   You don't need to create a door, this script can apply to any drawing that has
'//                  two inside pocket operation and an outside contour.
