Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Cutter radius compensation, was "Re: G code Examples / Cutviewer"

As we're taught in school, the best thing to do is write some real simple
programs and see how the machine your'e using interprets the Gcode....and
the "delimiters" as Ballendo pointed out.

You've probably noticed by now that cutviewer requires a preceding semicolon
for remarks. I've also noticed it ignores the () symbols.
