Hesitation at intersections

I wasn't quite sure how to describe this. I'm getting a hesitation similar to what you would see in exact stop mode at the transition between lines and arcs. Seems to be just were the trailing end of a line segment meets the leading end of an arc. On intricate cuts where there are lots of line and arc segments back to back, it acts almost as if it's in exact stop mode. Seems to be just on line/arc transitions. Arcs are smooth and a chain of line segments are smooth. See the image. red arrows indicate where there is hesitation. CV is on and none of the CV Mode boxes are checked. Velocity is set at 500IPM and acceleration is fairly low at 25. This seems to get worse at higher speeds, but we're typically cutting at anywhere between 80 and 200IPM and we see this a lot at those speeds.
Here is the code.

What value do you have in General Config for the CV settings?

Under "CV Control", "CV Dist Tolerance" is set to .05 and "Stop CV on Angle >" is set to 85. I didn't think I had anything checked there, but I did have "Stop CV on Angle" checked. If I un-check that, everything works great. Why would a setting of 85 stop CV on these transitions when the angle is clearly less than that? Does Mach figure the angle of an arc to be the difference between the start and end? For instance, would the arcs in the photo be considered 90 degrees?
Thanks

Figured that would likely be the issue but afraid I dont know enough about it as I have never used it.

Thanks Hood. I must have set angular check for a part that needed sharp corners and forgot to set it back. I'm generally OK with the slight rounding of corners. Considering the speeds I run, the small amount of rounding I get is acceptable. Might try playing around with CV distance.

I never use it as I never have issues with rounding due to high accelerations, but have it in the back of my mind that it is the opposite way to what you think with the angle you set. Could well be wrong though so if you do mess around with it let us know your findings please.

Edit, then again maybe not, the more I think about it the more I am confusing myself so I think I will stop thinking

Just looked and I know what the thing was that was in the back of my mind, it has >(greater than symbol) there when it should to my mind actually be < (less than symbol).
Still interested in what you find out.

I've seen it stop on some tangent arcs and not stop on others.
