describe current behaviour: The entry point for cutter compensation along a 
contour is determined by the first entity in the path.  

This is sometimes a bad place to do an entry move, because of crowding.

It would be extremely helpful to be able to pick the location of the entry move.

Maybe even using the +/- keys to step through the entity list?

Oops, sorry for the missing title.  I call it "Cycling Through Entities to 
Select Entry Point"

Thanks!  -Kip

Hello Kip,

we are currently working on a new beta release for dxf2gcode. This will be an 
thing which is already implemented in the new issue. Hopefully we will be able 
to release a draft end of the week. So just hold on a bit and test it when its 
done.

regards
Christian

OMG!  That would be wonderful!!!

Tonight I just generated a part where 3 out of 5 contours ended up with a bad 
entry point!  Thank you very much!
