Code to plunge Z gradually and then retract along length of a profile path.

Hey man, that's awesome. Thanks a lot for that..!

Just heading back home to have a closer look at it. Thanks again.

Fixed a few little things and added a new feature, it's possible todo any number of down ups.

Hi Rufe0,

Very cool - I'm always blown away by the skills of programmers. Just amazing. I have a couple of observations, although I'm pretty certain you'll be aware of 'em. When using the script on a rounded rectangle, there's a more pronounced drop on the 'rounded' segments due to the extra lines of Cut 2D code that are forcing extra incremental drops in the Z-axis:



The next pic shows that despite asking for a drop of 20 on this square, the Z only drops to 14.44, other shapes have dropped the specified amount, so perhaps this is an incompatibility between your script and the way Cut 2D formats it's code when dealing with different shapes..?



Hey, but seriously - I'm really impressed and very grateful to you for taking the time to help me out..!

Yeah thats the problem with just addind a Z on the end of every line. Todo it properly it would need to read every line, figure out how long the move is and then adjust the Z accordingly. That would be alot more work... but i'll think about it.

Heh, add the ability to ease in/out to the z-depth and you've got a marketable utility there..! Excellent stuff.
