Thank you Ger.
As always, you are the gentleman.
Citizen is correct on both counts [one-time and many-times].
Often by writing directly in the G-code file, a user gets a better sense of G-code and where to insert headers and footers.

Found this on the Instrucables web site..though it may be of interest those here.

Dean is correct about the plane slicing along X, Y, or Z
These functions obtain polylines from a 3D object by slicing the object along a given axis.

I have build two 3-axis cnc routers. So you understand my point-of-view: I make small furniture pieces, and jewelry and decorative boxes, plus cut dash boards inserts to mount instrument in power...
I built my first controller/breakout board. More of a learning experience than I bargained for. Learned lots, one of which is to buy them. Bought "cheap" [not inexpensive] first time; second one I...
Suggest you try CAMBAM for an all-round CAM program for 2D, 2.5D and 3D. Bit of a steep learning curve, but the forum is top notch. One contributor took the CAMBAM help files and translated them...

Be patient, its worth it.
