as the title says, im getting HUGE programs out of BobCAD for what should be simple machine paths, from what i can tell, most movements are broken into four lines of code at minimum, some are more. does anyone have a solution for this? V30

I think I saw this this video the other day I’m new to Bobcad. It was the arc segments being too high I believe thousands of little moves!
ive got my arc segments set at .0007" , the funny thing is, that its doing it on straight line movements as well....

If using the BC_3x.BCPST then open in Notepad and have a look at the lines shown below and check the settings, may be something there that will help.
