vertical ramping

Is it possible to vertically (z axis) ramp the engage portion of the Profile toolpath? As it is it always plunges straight down which causes chipping when cutting out (many, many) circles with a CNC router. The approach and engage variables seems to only work in the xy plane.

If not I would like to make that a request. Also it would be most efficient if the ramp followed the cutting path.

3D ramp for profiles has been introduced in VisualMILL 6.0. The same functionality will be introduced in RhinoCAM 2.0 as well.
