Lynn,



You need to adjust the ends of your turn profile. Leave the start point as "On" and for theenddo "specify" and select anywhere. Choose "ext length"give a negative value of .25*arc rad*3.142. This willstop the tool at 45 degrees through the arc.


Apply the lead out motion in Customize.

Peter,





Thanks I just got back to test this logic out it worked for the end of the tool path, but I'm not able to apply the same logic to the lead in section. Can this be done? or am I just messing it up?(hmmm possible)

Lynn,


I am not quite certain where your problem is now. Are you trying to lead in to the radius?
