Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

You are measuring the distance between sharp corners and subtracting your cutter diameter thinking that is what your tool path dimension should be. That is not the case.

There are the missing ca. 0.5mm ;)

Not a software fault, only wrong choice of tooling.

this pic is proving nothing.

If you do not want to accept geometrical laws, I give up explaining further.

It is a case of if the peasant can't swim it is the swimming trunk's fault :D
