    Your right the free version only seems to be able to do Parallel Finishing.

    The test item is a 435x153x160mm block, and I am wanting to mill four 83mm dia by 7.5mm deep holes into the top.

    The g-code output from Alibre CAM as it's Parallel Finishing go's over the hole block, and the 83mm dia holes are not that tidy.

    I guess the best thing to do now is to look at other programs.

    Is there any other free cad or cheep cad programs out there that are as easy to use as Alibre Design?

    Thanks for your time.
