Hi everybody, is it possible to actually "convert" a circular move into a helical move by using the toolpath-edit option. At the moment I only have deformed circular moves left. If yes, what is the rigt way to do so. The reason why, we would like to use 2D planar curves [ME10-dxf] for a curve-profiling machining without modelling, just "deforming" the operation.

Thanks for your help. Bert
