Is there anyway to set wear comp allowance for the "Thread" Toolpath type? "Thread milling" in "Drill" toolpath does not have wear, but "Thread" does in the dedicated 2D Toolpath section. Some of the machinist have had errors on their control when simulating with too large of wear comp, and we are unable to control what the program posts for a minimum radius. I typically put a note in finishing operations for max wear comp allowance when it is limited, but we can't list the wear comp allowance prior to posting "Thread".
I've checked in the toolpath parameters and didn't see it. Here is what I am referring to for extra context:

The other topic for discussion is that Thread toolpath type is not posting with G02 or G03 with ALL of our posts. Previous post/Inventor cam versions were posting with G02 and G03.

"View Toolpath" shows circular interpolation. No smoothing or tolerancing options can be found.
