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


Thanks

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 reasonable
G54, G55...G59.3 - OK
M62 ... M68  Analog-digital IO -- This seems odd
M48 - M53 - Spindle and feed overrides -- This also seems unreasonable
G98 - G99 -- Cycle retract mode -- Again this seems an odd thing to disallow
G76 lathe threading -- It seems like you might very much want to use
cutter comp here?
M6 tool change -- Why wouldn't cutter-comp just carry through with the
new radius?
G43 - G49 -- Might be reasnable, but doesn't seem necessary.
