      <p class="para_topic">The <b class="uiTerm">User Defined Mill Tool</b> dialog lets you create corner-rounding tools and chamfering tools, as well as other custom shapes.  You define multiple tracking points on the tool then,  from the operation, select an appropriate tracking point to drive the cutter along the part boundary. Since the most common application for this type of tool is simple profiling, user defined tools are currently only available within the <b class="uiTerm">PLANAR_PROFILE</b> operation.
