A stamp function that works like the mill button.

[last_option]

Hello,

I am using the stamp feature quite often these days. One thing I would like to see is a stamp feature that works like the mill feature instead of the punch feature. The problem is that everytime I stamp something I am left with a bunch of crapnal that gets stamped along with the feature I am trying to get:eek: . Then I have to go back and delete all crapnal floating in space. I have attached a photo of the crapnal from a recent stamp, this may not be suitable for children. In the photo all I wanted to use was the v section up by the box in the workplane.
The same goes for the section feature. I just want to cut out a small piece for reuse, not blow a hole thru my part.

If you need further explanation let me know.

Thanks,

Just trying to understand the need. Do you want to have a way to create a stamp with the ability to set the depth?

If that is what you want, there is a two-step solution I can think of is extruding with the profile, then use the intersect command.

Why don't you just use the Mill function along with two closed profiles?
The inner profile would be the area that would remain in a normal stamp function. The outer profile can be a simple rectangle or circle that would enclose the material that you would like to remove down to a depth defined during the mill operation.
