I did that and ran into another problem I am not sure how to get around. If the 
vector angle exceeds a certain value (20 degrees in this case), a head lift and 
knife rotation is introduced, but X/Y do not move. So I am getting the error 
"Length of cutter compensation entry move is not greater than the tool radius". 
This is discovered in the look ahead, so it threw me for a moment.

Any bright ideas on how to get around this?

Thanks,
Eric
