don't even know what details would be needed.  its on an x2 minimill running mach3 latest lockdown, code written in bobcad v21.  I need to ramp down into 1018 steel to pocket an oval opening.  What else would i need to post to move forward?  as i said i looked into the cnc programming handbook and there was no help in setting formulas or a generic program block or anything.  Bobcad does not support ramping in and out.

Ok, post a sketch/picture of the oval, depth of pocket, size of cutter, max plunge depth etc.

graham, i no longer need this question answered as one of the machine instructors at the school answered it for m.  he explained how to program it and also said to upgrade my cad/cam software to something a little better than bobcad.
