Bobcad WILL also do this, bit it isn't simple, and automatic may not
be suitable. YOU need to choose the location of the lead-in and
lead-out points
to avoid wrecking the part. Once you've set those points, you can generate
the toolpath as if the tool had zero diameter, and put in the G42/G43
commands. I've done this with some difficult parts and it works wuite
well. But, it IS more complicated to do.
