    dophin seems to throw in some reversed radius here and there. very small and hard to see.
    i do try both ij modes and one is very much better.

    it turns out that i have to start in the cad and go thru to the cam or else it wont post a usable code. funny but i can live with it.

    Re: turn cam work for you?

    I know this is an old thread. I don't know if it was a user issue only, but I pretty much ignore the CAD side. I just import DXF files from Turbocad into the Turn module.
    If you don't already have a favorite CAD package, then the Partmaster CAD is really easy to learn. It isn't required though. Just an FYI.
