I need to break an edge along a compound angles, basically along 2 chamfers intersect using a 1/8 ball mill. I have tried using trace , it follows the path in simulation but not with posted g-code, in the passes tab I use sideways compensation "left" but it does not add a G41 cutter comp, I attached files, pic /g-code and .ipt .
Any help /suggestions would be appreciated!

trace does not support in control compensation, that what you can select is only for the calculation. But do you realy need compensation for deburring?
Thanks for the reply, I may not need to cutter comp, there does not seem to be any relationship to what edge I select and where the ball mill actually goes , not much explanation at all on this, we don't do close enough in this business .
using left in "sideways compensation" is it shifting the tool by 1/2 the dia.? autodesk does not explain this.
In your Profile operation is the "chamfer" option selected. If you select this, then the calculation is realy crazy for a ballnose cutter. Sometimes things are a littlebit trial and error in HSM 😞
I have used a modeled chamfer and flow toolpath with a ball mill to get those pesky chamfers.
