the machine will move in a straight line between the coordinates on one line and the coordinates on the next line
for example: if the program looks like this X0 Y0 Z0 X1 Y1 Z1 the machine will move from X0 Y0 Z0 to X1 Y1 Z1 in a straight line. all you need to do is collect the end points of the shape you want to follow. The machine will move in a straight line to the coordinates on each line.
