  1. I need help with this toolpath. I assume it should have a larger step down on the steep areas and a smaller step over on the shallow areas. Look at the pic. Im getting strange results. I would go to my reseller if they would call me back. Thank you for any help. Presentation1.pdf
  2. I am importing geometry into and existing MC file. The level names I currently have get over written by the import.
