just a heads up, Stock model does not compensate correctly for a 2d contour using "control" for your tool diameter offset. if you use computer or wear, it'll work fine.
i have a facing op, then a 2d dynamic core, i then finish the outer profile with a 2d contour using control compensation. code is fine, backplot is fine. what i tried doing at that point is a stock model and select those three ops to compute the stock model and it looks good until i select the 2d contour. it won't compensate for half the end mill.

^^^ no foolish requirements (as9100, nadcap....etc...) so the smaller shops with the skill level were making these. a lot of capable shops but don't want to deal with the red tape, and bureaucracy. jmho
Neurosis, what if you set your control def>tool> to from tool, it'll then ask you to reload your mach def, then go to toolpaths> tool manager> select tool you want to change, change your h and d value, it will then ask you to apply to all ops using this tool, say yes and repost. i just tried it and it worked for me. hth
just thinking there maybe a corrupt file. i had some weird stuff happening in X5, i dumped it and downloaded it again, installed it and then it was fine, cleared up the issues i was having. did you download this from MC website? i always wait a couple days now to download less internet "traffic". i know it's a pain to do that but worth a shot you know when you're less busy hth
it would be interesting if you would post using the generic (not modified) X6 MPmaster and a generic mastercam X6 post and and see if that changes anything. Maybe an InHouse post issue. just trying to help narrow things down.
