does it help to generate a drawing per sheet? OR what does CNCwerk do more except for making the code?
make a bom per sheet?
connection piece?
tool list (or at least a drill list)
how small a part can be:
- weight?
- area?
- thickness?
- minimum width for a milled through strip for not deforming? (which width of material can be milled safely, without errors, vibrations and breaks (we have some pieces with narrow zones less than 12-20mm width)
- drill holes > mark with dot only?
- what info the machine operator has? (sheet size, etc.)

Layers
- for each tool
- for each router bits per contour (outside / inside / inset)
Contours
- closed polylines
- no curves
- no splines
Drilling holes
- layer per diameter per depth
- mark with 'dot' (AutoCAD)
Narrow strips > milled full depth minus 1mm (so strips in an 18mm sheet will be milled 17mm deep and will remain in the sheet)

- file format excel
- each info line in a column
- at least showing part ID and sheet ID (so 2 columns)
- if possible show material ID (3 columns)
