    Did I just find a bug in both 2008 and 2011 pro versions

    I just found the following

    When Profiling inside or outside it does not matter
    while using final pass allowance it simply neglect/reset any allowance value (make it a hidden zero)

    To duplicate the case it is very easy
    just draw a circle or any shape
    Profiling inside or outside
    make a value for Allowance
    calculate the path
    now add a final pass allowance value
    calculate again
    you will find that the toolpath has changed as if you have not added an Allowance value (0)
    to confirm that, change the Allowance value to 0 and calculate again you will find that the toolpath has not changed

    In short if you use final pass allowance you can not then use Allowance!!

    I have tried that with Artcam 2008 and 2011, same behavior!
