| + | The below section dictates the G2/G3 and G41/G42 directions on each plane. These are linked so they change together when toggled. It is not typical for G2/G3 and G41/G42 to be unlinked in direction. Switching C/D/E for any toolpath type switches the compensation for that toolpath type. ex: setting to 1 for "Right Face cut" will flip the G2/G3 and G41/G42 directions for only "Right Face cut" toolpaths. See [[mp: | ||
