How do you get back the classic nc step/sequences?

 

Thanks

There are a  couple of hidden options I have in my config.pro that restore functionality we use all the time.

enable_classic_nc_steps yes
enable_classic_cutline yes

First one lets me use Custom Trajectory, which I use in almost any milling I do, for 3D roughing, etc.

The second one brings back surface milling that is done with cutlines, can bridge many patches of surfaces, etc. instead of the horrible "mill each surface patch one at a time" that it does without this option.

Don't know why they take away such useful tools. Trying to baby-ify the program maybe.
