Steve, Check your code generator. In Machine Define, question #120, you can specify that you want to code tool center. Then, when you describe your tool diameter in the planner and specify a left or right tool offset on your profile, the resulting SmartCam output file will be the tool center, just the same as you are getting by using offsets in your design.
It will save you the work of creating the offsets and shouldn't produce any of the null elements. Gene Bowen Steve Buck wrote: > I have used SmartCam for years for 2D work on lasers and waterjets.
