That may have been the issue possibly the entire time.
    still outputting a bunch of straight lines where it should be arcs... ive attached an update of what i have done. you can see them when you run simulation.

    unfortunately i dont have a digital copy of the g-code list that i can supply you. we did send one to you when we had our post built. this will have to do for now as i cannot spend any more time on this job.

    is there a reason that the Lace angle could not be changed to 90 and it would be just long lines side stepped?

    not really no, my boss asked me to have it cut this way specifically because he likes the way it looks better lol, im just doing what i am told, he signs the checks.

    Was there a resolution to this issue? I am seeing the same thing, a bunch of G01 commands instead of G03 with a center part.
    I am cutting a variable radius on a cylinder, should just be a bunch of arcs at different depths. Is there a way to tell BobCad " just make them arcs" ?
