No, but I have been looking a
Just to add my 5 cents, I have problems using NativeCAM with plasma, because
NativeCAM uses tool compensation, then
I can't use the digital output to enable THC.
I don't see any reason why the digital I/O should be disabled if tool
compensation is on

Andy,
With regards to M6 it seems that changing tool size might be just like starting
out with cutter comp, it needs some ramp in distance to establish the cutter
compensation distance and it wouldn’t know how much to apply.

There seem to be a lot of things that are not allowed with cutter comp
enabled, and it isn't immediately obvious why.
The following G-codes are banned
G61 - Seems reasonabl
