    Default Advanced 3D Machining & Surfacing / G-code Reduction

    I was helping a buddy of mine with Gibbscam the other day which intrigued me to start comparing software. Was comparing Advanced surfacing and noticed my code tends to come out a lot cleaner with Bobcadcam than it does with Gibbscam. I get G2's & G3's with Bobcadcam and with Gibbscam there tends to be more small Point to Point Movement on Surfacing which makes the G-code much longer 4 to 5 times longer. Is this a Post issue or is there a setting I am not aware of in Gibbscam than can be set?? If so Please share. I tried using Point Reduction ( Fit Arcs ). This Option in Bobcad tends to makes the code smoother giving me the G2's & G3's. Maybe a bug? V10.7.10 ?? I don't know tried a few different options but no luck. Almost forgot to mention I used the same Solid model on Both Software's so the Solid Model shouldn't be an issue.

    Thanks in advance for any advice. Attached aremyGibbscam settings.
