It's biggest feature though is the edit feature. You process the file
as you want to cut it and then generate the G code when you are happy
with it.
Below are three links that will take you to screen shots of actual
part processed in Dolphin.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/machines/area%20clear.txt
Have a look at these and then ask some more questions. If you have an
actual part send me the file off list, machines at ntlworld.com and
I'll process it and send you the screen shots back.
