Newbie- Importing a toolpath

[Ed from NY]

Is it possible to import a tool path?

No tool compensation no nothing, just the equivalent of having the center of the tip of the tool follow lines and circles.

I'm working on a little spreadsheet that does a circle pocket by spiraling down in the center to the target depth and then spirals out. Both with circle segments. I would like to get that in at the BobCad level if possible instead of at the gcode level.

I do not have the high speed pocketing option, so this is kind of I'm doing it by hand for a simple case.

Thanks!

You can use 3D Engrave to follow the spiral, but I think BC will always break the engrave G-code into straight line segments.
