    Default Using Mastercam for single direction raster/zig tool path?

    Hi All

    Would anyone know whether it is possible to use Mastercam to convert a bitmap into G-code which has a specified toolpath so it were to only machine in one direction of one axis so a one directional raster or zig toolpath (see image below)?



    Any advice/help much appreciated for a big newbie to the CNC world

    Why does this need to be from an image? I can make mastercam do that without pulling the lines in and driveing them down the center to get this can be done with a simple flat surface for example.
