CAM: Offset Project Toolpath

[Anonymous]

When I create a sketch and use project toolpath, I have no option to have the cutter cut inside or outside the sketch - I can only cut directly on the sketch, the cutter directly centered on the path.

I know a rough workaround would be to make an offset sketch in the model workspace, but it can prove to be a pain when dealing with complicated sketches.

This feature doesn't sound like it would be too hard to implement since having an offset from a boundary seems pretty common amongst other toolpaths... why, Project will even allow offsets on the Z axis. 

Here's an image illustrating the current dilemma. As shown, the cutter can only be set to be centered over the sketch line.:

Hi @Anonymous

The function that you are asking for seems great ... But since this is a 3D  Toolpath - the developers haven't given the option for left and right offset .. I guess ??
