RE: Tool creation
Yes, That is what a User Defined Tool is for.
You can create almost any shape you need, however you can only use these tools with a Planar Profile operation.

RE: Tool creation
but it seems impossible to add second cut area (according my tool)....
RE: Tool creation
why it is impossible to cut using mixed cutting direction with "zig-zag" path? The only operation which allows mixed cutting direction is planar_profile, but there is no (of course) zig-zag path....
RE: Tool creation
Can you please explain what you are looking for? By definition, a zig zag pattern alternates between climb and conventional cut direction.
Im milling such as cavity milling, with a follow part cut pattern, you can alternate the cut direction on open passes.

"You mean create tool->mill_user_defined?"
Yes
"but it seems impossible to add second cut area (according my tool).... "
You need to define a second tracking point. This is where the tool will follow along the boundary.
Planar Profile is to only operation that can use a "User Defined" tool, unless this has been added in 7.5 ( I have not seen 7.5 yet)

RE: Tool creation
Look at the attached picture. As you can see, middle area of my part is milled using zig-zag pattern (planar_mill). I am looking for mixed cut direction, so the tool going forward and bacward should cut the material.
