    Newbie help w/ Profile toolpath

    Hello everyone.

    I've just finished building my mill, and to test it, I have a pen in place of the milling spindle.

    In RhinoCam I would like to draw my brothers name. Iam very new to Rhino, and RhinoCam, although I seem to have the basics worked out on how to do this. There is just this one little thing that is annoying me...

    I am using 2 1/2d profiling, and it all looks well unit the mill finishes the cut. It exits from the cut on an arc at the same level as the drawing takes place. What I would like the mill to do when finishing in simply retract in the Z axis and move on. I have tried changing loads of settings and no luck. Anyone know how to do this? See attached pic.

    Hope that makes sense,
    Thank you for any help,
    Dave.
