CAM experimental/ru

The CAM Workbench contains a set of hidden commands. They are hidden by default because they are experimental. A command can be considered experimental for any of the following reasons:

• It is incomplete.
• It is bug-ridden.
• It is unstable.
• It does not produce correct, stable, safe, paths.
• It is not a standard, regularly used command in the traditional CAM workflow.
• It is mature but has not yet been moved to the standard tool list.
• ... other reasons.
