    F1 in the help section should have few example you can learn from it.
    The best way to learn is trial error.

    This is what you need to do.
    For C-axis with spindle on left side always have your contour on the right plane. In the first parameter page choose C-axis for Rotary axis and in miscellaneous change the 0 to a 1 to activate G112/G113 Third or 4th line I guess.
    The best is to use radius compensation to better understand what machine is doing and what's going on. Don't forget to put the 1/2 diameter of you mill in your machine offset and set your comp. type/point to "0" .

    You might find out that the G113 is called up before G40 in the posted programm. If your using FANUC this will give a alarm. G113 must be after your G40 block.

    Good luck!
