    Try this..
    Go to machine type and use
    C:/USER/PUBLIC/DOCUME/LATHE C-AXISSLANTBEDMM.LMD-5

    That machine will post your radius' with the "R' value you need.

    In the Control Definitions file

    go -->
    - "Settings" pulldown
    - Edit Machine def
    - THEN, open the control def file
    - go to the "Arcs" tab (alter as your machine requires)
