Canned / simple programs feature - facing?

[crjohnson]

Not sure how much this has been covered in the past, I did some searching and saw that some people have created their own macros for canned cycles but with various levels of success.

Basically I saw a youtube video on the Langmiur MR-1 cutcontrol software and its "automatic facing" feature, link below. Is it possible to incorporate a feature like this into UCCNC? I know there is a CAM tab in the software but from my understanding you need to import a DXF file to do anything.

Often I manually face a piece of material using the pendant but would love to be able to quickly setup a program when multiple cuts are involved. I'm not up to date with creating macros and adding screensets or buttons etc so would love to stay away from that and prevent many crashes!
Cheers!

each profile has its own folder with macros, check file path:

\UCCNC\Profiles\Macro_*your profile name*\M21212\ (folder with png files)
\UCCNC\Profiles\Macro_*your profile name*\M21212.txt (macro file)
