I think it was originally done in prodesktop - that way you can see it "assembled" and make sure the slots all fit !

If you have QuickCAM pro, you can use the more advanced machining plans to create toolpaths around the shape edges only (eg waterline / pencil milling)

If you have VR Milling 5, you can create DXF files from proD or Solidworks, and open them directly in VR Milling- this will then let you create offset toolpaths via the DXF / CAM wizard
