Pocket Toolpaths

I know this exists in other CNC Software. My question/frustration is with the pocket toolpath. Is there some way that I am missing, to have the toolpaths travel left to right instead of inside to out? When surfacing a large piece of wood, the cutter is traveling across the grain where it would work out better if it could move in a L to R motion.

No, at this time, Carbide Create does not have that feature — you can draw the toolpath up manually:

and then cut the perimeter to clean things up.
