I don't know much about machine and control definitions, so there might be a setting that's not correct.
I also noticed previously that Backplot doesn't always show lead out moves correctly with control as compensation type. (Arc part of lead out move wasn't displayed at all.) However when I posted my toolpath into G-code, lead out moves seemed to be coded like I wanted them to be.
So Backplot part of Mastercam hasn't convinced me so far. :tired:
