For some reason unknown to mankind I now got the size right but still no tool radius compensation??
My tool just follows the coordinates and my part turns out 6mm to small :-(
so what I now need help with is a simple direction on how to set up my machine to compensate for the tool radius,
I must add that I dont know how the machine is set up? perhaps there is a deeper problem? but lets start in the easy end with basic coding...
I have in my "tooltable" set the Tool Nr 6 for 6mm diameter, but to me it seems as it does not take that command, and also on the main page I see the tool Nr 6, but I dont know if it is activated? if it can be activated? red LED or something...
The generated code looks like this:

I guess that this is a small problem for anyone but me...
