Thought I had a grip on how this works, but apparently not. I've got a simple test...a block with a 4mm deep hole in it. I have not figured out how to set the heights (at least I think this is my problem) so that it cuts 4mm deep. It always want's to cut all the way through my stock. I've set my stock to 6mm thick, 4mm deep hole. Seems simple. Maybe it knows I'm lying to it and am actually cutting into a 3/4" piece of MDF???
I've tried 2d pocket and contour and 3d contour. My only results are cutting all the way through or getting no toolpaths at all. Any thoughts?

I'm trying a 2d pocket. In geometry I've selected the opening of the hole. In height, I'm trying to set Bottom Height to selection and then trying to select the contour of the bottom of the hole, but I have not been able to select either the circumference of circle at the bottom of the hole or the bottom of the hole itself. All it lets me select is "component" HELP!!!
Nuts..Never mind. Select the bottom contour of the hole in Geometry and Selected Contours as the bottom Height. Sorry thrill seekers....
You should be able to just select the circumference or the face at the bottom of the hole for the geometry in 2D Pocket. It will then default to that height for the bottom of the hole.
If you pick the geometry at the top, you will need to adjust "Bottom" on the heights tab. If you do "From Top" and set the offset to -4mm it should also work.
Alternatively, try and share your file here and I'll take a look.
