If you need to cut a single line you could use Bill Youngs flipper program. it lets you convert a cutting file from the xy plane to one in he xz or yz plane. draw your curve and toolpath it in the xy plane. iy you need to do it in more than one pass you can take the flipped file into excel and use it to copy and paste and do the calculations on the z values.
hope this is what you are looking for
