I've used a 3016L with the 88 controller before.
It didn't need the D number for cutter comp.
Even though this section of the 'zone is about as dead as the geometric forum, I have more faith in the experts here to help me with my problem in a timely manner.
I've generated a custom post for my Fadal 4020 using FadalCNC88 as a base. I'm having a disconnect somewhere that is resulting in all my D words outputting to D01 regardless of the tool, like so:
N441 (1/8 4 FLUTE CRB EM)
N442 T10 M06
N443 G70
N444 G90 G00 X.9118 Y-.9975 S5000 M03 E4
N445 Z1.6 H10 M08
N446 G01 Z.7765 F5.
N447 G41 D01 X.6737 Y-.9213 F10.
I've toggled the -Define Compensation Number- in the Misc tab to a couple different numbers resulting in the expected addition to the correct tool number (so that's working properly) but when back at 0 the D goes back to 01 for all tools.
I've also toggled the -D Offset Register- in the Mill 2D tab on and off, but that has no effect and I can't find how to properly set up that registry.
Any ideas? Hand editing is going to be a bit of a pain with long codes...

if you still need to know this
COMP_OFFSET=20
should be in the source file, this controls offset output
20 would mean D become 20+
T1 would give D20
hope helps
