So I'm trying to eliminate arcs in rough turning toolpaths and did notice an option under the Compare & Edit dialogue called Make Sharp Corners. I expected this to work as it does in milling, but it seems to have zero effect. This would make the code at the machine much simpler for the operator to make adjustments on or just following the coded toolpath.
This has Make Sharp Corners turned on:
There are a number of issues when using compensation for turning. I was hoping to work on it for the R3 release - but didnt make it. Instead I will see if it can be done for R4. The issues mainly come down to how you measure the tool on the lathe - and this then have implications for which settings make sense for compensation. So I intend to disable a lot of settings that are not appropriate for this mode. And the sharp (inner) corner feature is one of them.
It does make sense to have a sharp corner feature for the outer corners. But this is not something we support at the moment. But Bjoern created the ticket for it for future consideration.
Not one Kudos on any of the informative posts I shared... you guys are cold and brutal.

The "make sharp corners" parameter has been implemented and the fix will soon be available in an upcoming release.
