I've been using cambam for a while now and I generally like the features it provides. There are one or two things that are... a bit odd.
The one I'm writing about now is the ordering that it picks for the operations.
For this cb file
http://mmccoo.com/electronics/gantryparts_Sheet_1.cb
I have:
1) a hole in the upper left corner (inner profile)
2) a series of drill holes left to right (with start point on the left most)
3) another hole upper right (inner profile)
4) the outline of the part (outer profile)
I have inserted "start points" to hint the ordering. The machining sequence is
1) the upper left hole
2) the drill holes... starting from the right. finishing on the left.
3) the upper right hole... to start there it's got to travel all the way from left back to right.
4) finally the outline.
The resulting gcode is here:

Am I doing something wrong that it's not following the start point directive?
It seems that I shouldn't even need to give the start points, but I understand how the generalized algorithm may be difficult to implement.
