Dia. (for simulation)

I'm certain this ones has been covered before but finding results is tricky considering the search words being used.

I have changed the value of this setting many times but have never seen a change other than having to regenerate my operation.

I tend to leave it at the same diameter as the hole I want just to be safe but I'm not even sure if the diameter in question is for the hole or the tool.

Who knows?

But even if I change this setting to 2.5 I see no difference in my backplot, verify or nc code.

Correct.  I’m not sure what the original intent of this setting was; but I don’t think it’s done anything in recent releases.

In Mastercam 2022 it has been removed.

Well, looks like "Comp in Control" won't show the cutter on the centerline of the geometry, so it does appear to be broken...

This is a 1" Diameter Arc, at X0 Y0. The code is coming out correctly, with the centerline of the geometry, but in Backplot, it shows the tool path being offset by the cutter radius "visually" on the screen, but the XYZ Endpoints are showing the correct centerline locations.
