There I'd a oword subroutine in the wiki that jepler wrote for me several years back. Basically a rectangular array that you spec rows, columns, offset distance s and finally the code. I tweaked a copy to read a gcode part file.
Used numerous times to cut out Xmas ornaments several years in a row for swmbo.
