That cycle is called fine bore shift and there is a shift value field.
There are parameters in the control of the machine also that change the shift direction so verify it shifts the correct way above the hole
In the control panel there should be a mastercam icon , can't remember what it's called.
Go in there and there should be about 5 things and one is to reset the ribbon bar. You will need to restart mastercam
I have done this before but not in x6
ETA, this may have been for the bottom bar that shifted off the screen
I always make curves an a separate level after import.
I don't use every one but it looks better to me
I also think it's easier to analyze dimensions with the curves
Do you have the look ahead on in the machine?
Are you using an overlap in circle mill?
how fast are you machining?
Your guage idea would depend on what roundness or workmanship spec they call out
You should make it whatever you have in mastercam.
If it's center make it that.
Touching off tools depends how you setup your machine positive or negative offset?
