I've seen this several times...

So Vectric Aspire 8.0 is a great program.  Most of the time it works 
ok.  However, we've found Gcode generation sometimes yield just this:

G64

No "P0.001" parameter.  Well that's pretty damn toxic, it'll create huge 
arcs instead of what it's supposed to do.  It'd doomed, but you won't 
know it's going to fail until you start running it.  The preview window 
does NOT reflect the dire problems with this code. You'd have to 
manually inspect all the files.

Well, for one, I'm a bit confused why LinuxCNC G64 with no parameter 
defaults to such a probably-harmful mode inside LinuxCNC to begin with.  
It's an interesting concept but unlikely to be of use and radically 
different than the G64 Px mode.  That is, the radically different mode 
that happens with G64 with no "P" really should be a G64.1, IMHO.

But, anyhow, any idea what's up with Aspire?  I'm not entirely sure 
what's triggering this no-P generation.  When working with someone else, 
I recall we concluded there was a "LinuxCNC arcs-inch" which generated a 
P, and a "LinuxCNC no arcs-inch" which did NOT generate a P and was 
doomed to fail.  But I'm trying it on another machine and I can't find 
the failing option.
