Layer configuration for CAM?

I want to define some layers for automatic CAM generation and I can't find where to do this. Seems that the things has changed and I can't find the "Configuration Options (per layer)" anymore:

It is possible to create templates for automatic CAM generation in QCAD/CAM? I want for example that all the shapes from the layer "Contour_14" to be cut on outside with a 14mm deep cut.

Best regards.

This option is not available in the new QCAD/CAM procedure using tools and toolpaths.

To achieve the same, you can select all contours on any given layer and create a toolpath with the desired properties for those selected contours.

For a tutorial on QCAD/CAM basic usage, please refer to:

It is possible to add in a future version of QCAD/CAM Toolpath Templates like the ones from Vcarve https://docs.vectric.com/docs/V10.0/VCa ... -templates
