Hey guys, hopefully this is a common problem that can be resolved easily. Basically when I am trying to turn a radius the code is output as several small line segments rather than using an R or I,J,K. I have "radius arcs" and spun profile smoothing turned on so I'm not really sure what the issue could be. Any help would be much appreciated!

You have Make Sharp corners enabled so all sections of your part are straight lines. 

Here's a back plot in NC corector.

@matt.millerBYVUW  Also notice you have the tolerance set to 5.0mm in the op and the spun profile smoothing set to 0.5mm. This seems pretty lose for the spun profile and way too big in the op, I'd set both to 0.01mm. Note for this part you don't need spun profile at all!

yeah like @HughesTooling said resetting the setup spun profile tolerance and toolpath tolerance to smaller values makes it work as expected both with or without spun profile turned on.

Just for reference this is what I get with tolerance set to .01mm and make sharp corners unchecked.

Yes it was the make sharp corners option!! I was screwing around with the tolerances and minimum radii stuff etc trying to make it work so that's why they were all wonky. I appreciate the help!
