Re: Where to find documentation for CAD/CAM
All the CAM output functions are in camexporter.js and contour.js.
You can get a copy of them by setting the -enable-script-debugger and by setting a 'debugger;' in gcode.js .
The files are copyright so with a licence you can modify the functions in your own config file to fit your needs.
You can also manipulate how these functions are called in your own config file. This is how gcode.js works.
Going by the popularity of this thread not many people have a understanding of both offset cutting and Javascript.

Re: Where to find documentation for CAD/CAM
I'm in the process of putting an introduction to QCAD/CAM configuration together. I'll post the link to it here soon.
Re: Where to find documentation for CAD/CAM
I've started to publish documentation for advanced QCAD/CAM users to create their own G-Code output dialect at:
http://www.qcad.org/en/qcad-cam-configuration
This is work in progress, but this should help to get started in most situations (adjusting header, footer, file extension, tool down, tool up).
