You are correct... you will have to draw your toolpaths then convert it. But hey, it's free and I recall how important that is when you are learning how it all works. (or as us older ones in it,
learning means now khowing much money you should have spent right away and on what)

FlashCut V2 indeed will have radius compensation but I am not sure that the Demo when it comes available will allow one to import and convert for free. It might be in their best interest though....
As individuals use that part of it, they just might migrate to the whole program.
