Tool Containment Curve with Front view

[GibbsMachineCorp]

Hello all. Is there a way to use a containment curve with the tool plane set to top but the tool stay contained as if you were looking at it from a front view? I've attached a screen dump trying to show this. The picture shows a front view of a toolpath using a curve drawn in a top view. I need the toolpath to stay contained in the white curve a drew in a front view.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Ya, you get your cheap @$$ boss to buy MC.

 

Sorry, but I hate Gibbs.

set the construction plane to front view..

project a copy of your white lines onto the surfaces

got to top view and use the projected curves as a containment boundry..

Not sure how big the part is but on a smaller part you could create a draft surface from your white geometry and select that as a drive surface as well. The toolpath won't see the geometry underneath it.
