G41 and G42 Input path error was created by RobotMatic
Since 2008 I use Linuxcnc. I find a serious problem in generating compensated paths with G41-G42. Linuxcnc requires me to generate auxiliary movements to be able to generate my complete trajectory. When the tool enters the programmed profile, it is placed tangent to both axes, and leaves incomplete a section of my trajectory.
In this time I have seen many improvements to the software, and I can not understand why this has not been solved. In the manual, they explain how the compensation works and consider that this way of working is correct, but it is not !!!!!.
Linuxcnc must allow me to enter and exit the trajectory at the same point without missing a part.I am very grateful to be able to use Linuxcnc in the equipment that we manufacture in Argentina RobotMatic CNC. I hope that the developers can consider my observation and solve this problem.
thank!!

I'm not sure what you want the behavior to be. Other industrial controls (Fanuc and some others) I've used have similar behavior and limitations as Linuxcnc when using tool offsets.

Linuxcnc can not generate a full circle offset with G41 or G42. At the point of entry it moves tangentially and loses the trajectory, to be able to solve this it is necessary to generate auxiliary trajectories. Fanuc, Fagor, Siemens do not have this problem. The trajectory runs completely with or without G41-G42. Again I mention that in the manual of linuxcnc indicate this error as correct.
It is very important that this error be corrected. It is not possible to perform tuning work with linuxcnc. Thank you very much for answering

I thought Fanuc required a lead in move equal to or greater than the tool offset for G41/G42 (as does Linuxcnc)

If your lead in move is radial to your circle, you get a defect at the start of the circle equal to your tool offset. The Fanuc controls I've used behave the same. (or so I thought.)

Using an arc rather than a line for the lead-in move takes most of the guess work out of making a clean tangential move that doesn't interfere and is adjustable over wide range of tool diameters. like this.
Code:
G2 X5.0 Y3.00 I0 J0.5 G42 G3 X3 Y5 I-2. J0.0 G3 Y1 I0 J-2 G3 X5 Y3.000 I0 J2
