missing menu items

[Bill Parks]

I have read in the posts here that there should be a New 3 D operation and  a ZigZag listing in the machining menu but I do not have those.

I am running heekscad on ubuntu 18.04 64 bit and I do not have the New 3D operation or the ZigZag tab under machining.  Any idea why?

I am trying to get the gcode for an .stl or .iges 3 d drawing and I can't seem to figure out how to do it. 

Please let me know if you need additional information or maybe someone else has run across this issue.

Thank you for any and all help

In HeeksCNC version 1.x you need to use the Surface object with a Pocket operation.

There is no 3D operation or ZigZag operation any more.

But the good news is that a "Surface" can also be applied to a 2D Profile operation.

Thank you for the clarification Dan,

I am excited about learning your program and using it with my mill.  I will give the surface process a try an let you know how it works out.
