Change smoothing via command?

Hi all, I was curious if I can change smoothing modes with a command in a G Code file. I took a look at the docs and I didn't see anything in there about it...
Is this possible? Has anyone ever done it? If so I'd be interested in knowing how...

I haven't done it, but it should be possible. Check into G10 to write parameters and parameters 220-231.

I have different PP set up for each smoothing profile for Vectric. If you look at the acorn smoothing users manual it explains it a little further.
G64 is the command to turn smoothing on/off, see page 221 of the users manual.

Same here as RogDC. One PP for standard "precision router", one for 3D relief, and one for V-carving. Each reverts to my standard "precision router" when done.
Example... G64 ON "3D Relief Fine" ; Activate desired preset by label

look up G64 in the mill operator manual (page 222) and the corresponding 'smoothing' menu section (page 336) of same manual.
the mill operator manual is found in the "All Acorn Documentation" thread here.
