    Cleaning a ramp up

    OK another problem I get at times that shouldn't happen.

    I have this curved slot that has been put in with a laser but part of it needs opening out to take a cap head screw, basically the slot need to be made into a counterbored slot for 4mm deep.

    File attached.

    Problem, I specify ramp in to save the cutter on the laser hardened edge for the first span and it does so and ramps in on all 4 passes to the total depth of 4mm.

    However I am then left with the ramp on the first span. Now Dolphin knows it has ramped the first span so why can't it add that span on to the last pass and remove it.
    I either forget which scraps the part or have to do another go round which wastes time.

    These are the sort of things that need fixing instead of offering upgrades that actually add no more functionality to the program in staed of making the program easier.

    "Zig zag" will clean up the remaining material after it ramps down.
