I have pencil toolpath with a dovetail cutter  that I have rotated around a center for my 4th axis rotary   this will work

but it retracts  every angle increments.

 

This is basically what I want but I would like a 5axis toolpath that I can post to my 4th axis ..    I have created a pattern from the pencil toolpath   but I am not getting the machine axis control I want .  I have tried from curve , to curve , to line   to point    I am stumped

 

Please see  project     

 

 

Thanx

You can change the angle from 90 to -90. The cutter will be flipped.
