General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Turn Radius Mode not working Properly

RADIUS MODE ISSUE IN MACH3 TURN
Hi everyone,
I seem to be having an issue with Mach3 Turn. I recently switched from Diameter mode to Radius Mode in hopes of making my life easier without having to divide everything in half during programming. I have now switched to Radius mode BUT when I am in the manual screen and tell it to move X 1 it actually moves 1 inch instead of 1/2 inch..... My thought was in Diameter mode, Mach3 Turn would know to only move X 1/2 of the overall.... In other words:
If I ask it to move to a 1" radius it should in turn move only 1/2" from center. Instead, it still moves the entire 1" resulting in a 2" radius instead.
I'm sure I must be missing something very simple but can n ot put my finger on what it may be. Any help out there?
