Hello everyone,

I'm currently working with two toolpaths in machining, each with the option of generating a 2D radial profile in the compensation output. I'm looking to create a G-code with G41 and D (offset number) for each profile contour.

The issue I'm facing is that my current code includes the G41 and D1 (offset number) for profile contour 1 but not for profile contour 2.

I'm seeking guidance on how to ensure that the D1 (offset number) is included in the G-code for all G41 instances when using the post processor in CATIA. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is the D command modal in your controlller? If so the post may be written so it does not need to output the D1 since there is no change in the compensation value.
Experiment with a second D value for the second path and see if the post puts out a D2.
