    CRC compensation

    Post-processor in my G-code displayed contour so as to take into account when displaying the coordinates of the radius of the tool. The tool diameter should I then be set to 0 mm, to get the right contour. Is it possible to change the settings so Gibbscam to have real tool-radius to define sizes, or it depends on post-processor?

    Go to Preferences, and on the Machining Prefs page there are three options for milling crc: tool center, tool edge, and finish profile.

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    But now I have a new problem ...
    Entry and Exit move was tangential to the contour before, but now the Entry and Exit Move shifted for the radius tool. Does this change in Cam? I am used to a tool in a straight line in the contour and out.
