It lookes like meshcam will only step over objects not mill along a path?

For now, yes. MeshCAM is mainly for 3d machining but I may add some VERY basic 2d things in the future like the ability to load a part outline as a DXF that can be cut at the end. No promise on when that'll be though.

OK thanks for the fast reply this is the part I want to cut out-

You'd be better off using SheetCAM for something like that. Sorry Robert. btw, are you still in Hong Kong?

[robgrz]

No I'm in the US but I go back to Hong Kong tomorrow night. Hopefully the last time for a while.

I was actually just finishing up my MeshCAM work for the night and was thinking of you as I went over the current todo list. A handful of the items had your name on them and haven't been checked off yet. Hopefully I can get a bunch in the next release.
