Is this something still in development?  Since I have Mach3, this would be real handy.  BTW running the gear in BobCAM cuts the spokes fine, but cuts the teeth instead of the gaps between the teeth.  A big with BobCAM?

Hi Stephen:

  The "Send to Mach3" should work, but you must have Mach3 running before you start GM.
For BobCad, it sounds as if there should be a setting to tell BobCad which side to cut...I cant
imagine why it woudl cut the tooth out instead of the holes though..thats a bit weird.
Mach3 should load any Gcode produced by GM though ( Or GT..). Is there a problem there?
