You would need to make your model, but make it so it is only one layer thick.

You would then need to manually edit that gcode by copying and pasting that same line after each manually added line to move the z up what ever layer thickness you want. If you can code then might be able to write an app that would do the copy, addition and paste functions for you. But that is the only way you are going to be able to do what you want to.

i would like to have all layer deposited in longitudinal direction
thanks in advantage for your help
