Hi Irv
Yes, there is a much easier way to do what you are asking, I do it regularly in Aluminium and Brass for Mold inserts, it is called "V Carve" and you can have a look see if it is in the V30 package you purchased.
Here is an image from my V28 showing where to find that strategy
If it isn`t there then you may just have the Standard V30 and you may need to purchase it as an extra, it is a nice little strategy to have at hand and if you are going to be doing a lot of this type of work then probably worth asking BC rep what deal he can do for you
Regards
Rob
