Sorry about my English I will explain them better. I am using PlasmaC and Fusion 360, so when I cut pieces that I don't use the smoothing function everything goes fine, but when I use smoothing in Plasmac I have the arc error (attached photo), so I check the G code of both pieces one with smoothing and the another one is not and the difference of course is the size of the G code and a G03 which is the one that produces the estimates of the smoothing then that new code is the one that the PlasmaC interpreter gives that error, I don't know if my error is in the number of tolerance but I have tried several and I continue with that error.

Can you post the two g code files? Why do you want to use shooting from fusion?

Comparing the files, non-smoothing on the left, looks far better in the sim.

The smoothing version is impossible to load with linuxcnc, my cam is capable to display toolpath from external loaded files. but then failed to follow the displayed contour, as expected.

I tried loading both in QtPlasmaC.
noSmoothing.ngc loads fine
smoothing.ngc does not load, I get this error:
A 20% error is quite large, there must be issues with the PP. The second image on this post seems to confirm that.

Phill what is the minimum supported error for linuxcnc to work fine, I corrected some tolerance values and I have error = 0.4% but still I still have an arc error

You can change the CENTER_ARC_RADIUS_TOLERANCE_MM value in the RS274NGC section of the ini file. The value is in mm but I am not sure what the maximum valu is.
