available to arc command.
2) Intersect type: the programming path is translated in parallel to get the segment 2 for establishment,
next, make the starting point of segment 2 the end point of the segment 1. Segment 1 and 2
constitute the tool nose path with tool radius compensated. Please note that this type is not
available to arc command.
3) Insert type: after the programming path is translated, figure out the intersection point of segment 1
and 2. Insert a line from the starting point of segment 1 before translation and the starting point of
segment 1 after translation, to get the tool nose path. It is available to arc command as well, but
machining efficiency will be affected since an extra segment needs to be completed..
