No, it should do exactly as you want/tell it to. The problem itself however is not the CAM but the Post Processing, in other words your Post Processor isnt correct if it is missing things out or doing things wrong.
I dont know our situation regards MasterCAM but often when you buy CAM you get one post processor free to suit your machine, if that is the case then they should be working with you to get it correct.
I have used a few CAM's over the last while and post processors werent quite right for my machines however I chose to modify them myself to save back and forth hassles between myself and CAM people. This was with both Dolphin and BobCAD and both of them have a lot of tools and good documentation so that you can do that, I dont know what MasterCAM is like as some are relatively easy to modify yourself, others you need a degree in computer language and others just dont allow you access.
So really it all depends, if the PP is easily modified and documentation is good I would do it myself, if not then you will have to contact MasterCAM and get them to work with you to get it right.
