    Default New test with keyhole bit

    We were playing around with the key hole function and trying to lock pieces together when we can up with this.

    Using the dimensions of the keyhole bit, just carve around a 'peg' region with the keyhole bit itself.

    Create a keyhole w/ depth 0.38.
    Create a rectangle carve region of depth 0.38.
    Drop a circle of radius 0.175 into the region. Make it a region, and set its depth to 0.
    Drop an arc of radius 0.27 around the peg, not connecting the endpoints, but extending them outward with horizontal vectors.
    Assign the 1/8 cutting to the arc/line vector at a depth of 0.38.

    When carving, it asks for the 1/8" cutter - just put the keyhole in at that time (unless you're doing other cutouts, then choose a different bit when you design the arc/line vector).
