You have Incremental IJ mode chosen and also you are running in Radius mode.
If you wish to run Radius then you will need to use the radius Post Processor.
The IJ mode needs to be set to Absolute, as mentioned earlier the best way to do that is in your code by having a G90.1 at the start. Changing it in General Config will also do it but the danger there is some other code may change it to Absolute and then if your new code is written in Absolute mode and there is no G90.1 at the start it will not produce the correct toolpath.
