Crop Circles and the Chain Gap setting
While doing some pocketing of Bush Script font with my General Accuracy and Chain Gap both set at .0001, a crop circle was produce during the Gcode production.
When I change the Gap setting to .001 without changing the toolpath I went to the cam side and produce the Gcode again , the crop circle was still present.
But it disappeared after the Gap setting was set to .00001.
My understanding of the Chain Gap setting was the maximum distance between 2 entities and still be considered a continuous chain.I cannot understand what is happening here ...

2 arcs were not tangent creating the crop circle.Question: When you have a chain gap set at .0001 does it mean that one entity can end at let say x0y0 and the other one start at x.0001y.0001 and actually be .00014142 away from the other?
