I am making parts that have straight lines and arcs on the outline. My machine ramps up and down for each object. Is there a function to make the machine run continuously around the periphery of the part.

You can do this with O-codes.
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/o-code.html#ocode:repeat
And within them there are at least 3 different ways to do it, While Loops, If Conditionals, or simple Repeats.

A while loop seems like the obvious choice for this. For example if your code lowers the tool an amount per pass, simply set up your while loop to run until the depth is equal to your desired final depth.

What "ramps"? The Z-height? The spindle speed? The axis velocity?

Which version of LinuxCNC?
