rotated ruled toolpath

hi all im looking to machine a contour thats similar to a ruled z constant toolpath(stepping down z 0.2mm at a time) with a contour on z 0 and one at z-10..

but then my contour is rotated around a center poing 30 times.. Now instead of machining each ruled contour to its final depth then rotating around to the next slot and doing the same thing again i want to machine the first contour to my z-0.2mm depth then rotate to the next slot only going to z-.2mm then the next ect.. till i end up on my first slot again then move to my second z depth cut and go again... any help appreciated thanks...

if you have Mill Level 3, creating the ruled surface for each pair of contour will give you 30 surfaces, and machining with surface finish contour with 0.2 stepdown and roll tool option under advanced setting set to 'only between surfaces' might give you what you want....

 

share a sample file on what you describe on the ftp... maybe someone will help...
