  But FUNNY !!!

  He was also whining that, while in the middle of constructing a chain
in MasterCAM, (he's confused as to what chains & chaining are/is & he 
sez GibbsCAM does not use, have or need them) he cannot just reselect
*his chosen starting point*. But he needs to newest release of MC to see
if this huge bug has been fixed (probably tired of rebooting).

  Plus, he has to keep changing depths ....  he has to "transform his Z
levels"
for chains to work <G>.
  AND he has to extract wireframe geometry from solids to get drive
curves (to chain). Can this be true? I'd have just used the drive
surfaces but ...
