Hello all,

When programming an operation of Circular Milling, Helicoidal mode, without CYCLE syntax output, then we can't select the radius compensation mode (option is locked, set to "None").

Is there any environment variable to set in order to unlock this option? (or any other way to do it?)

Best regards,
Thierry
 
I got the tip from another source :
Declare and set the environment variable as follow in the CATenv file : MFG_AXIAL_COMPENSATION_OUTPUT=1

Regards
