It seems a little strange to use a 3D animation tool for CNC, but if it works, what the heck. Do you have a procedure for creating documentation? I'm not wild about using Wine, but I'm a Linux snob. I do like the idea of separating the creation and processing of the 3D files. It seems to be more flexible. Thanks for the information.
