It won't be automatic but you can probably get what you want by using the dogbone dressup on your profile operation.
You might have to apply multiple dressups and configure them differently to get the correct clearing for all the corners but it should be possible.

Re: Help with milling all the way to edge of part
I really hate to ask this, but how do i install this 'adaptive' tool? I looked at the GIT and it seems as though it needs to be compiled. and the commands to do so look like linux commands. I'm on win 7?
thanks
thanks
