I can't get Bobcam to post out arcs/circles. I get only point to point. It's too much code for my Mach3 control. AM I missing a setting in Bobcam? I'm sure it has to be an option.

Yes it is an option that you have missed, it is in the posting page which comes after you choose your machining stratergy, click the box called Arc Fit and play around with Arc Fit Tolerance, you can often make a G code set about 1/4 the number of lines using arc fit.

There are a few other areas and things that go along with this.

Post setup can do this. Particular toolpath strategies do this... the geometry itself!

Arc and smooth spline geometry can post ijk values without arc fit set...

Arc fit is more of an added method to control break/angle values in the code generated and scrunch things down even further...
