add the option of starting pocketing in the center of the pocket #71

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
when doing pocketing, I see that the toolpath is offset from the outside
profile inward.

When doing pocketing, I normally am used to starting from the center and
moving outward.  

Maybe I'm doing things wrong, but I notice that everyone eles' pockets are
doing the same thing :)

Looking at the python code, I see why it offsets inward.  I just haven't
got my head around how to make it go the other way.

Thanks,
Dan

Yes, this needs to be done. It should be done at the same time as
http://code.google.com/p/heekscnc/issues/detail?id=35  in area_funcs.py.
See my comments there.
