Understanding G200
It is important to understand that the purpose of G200 is to simplify the Gcode required for probing, piercing and cut height management.
It is therefore relevant for all THC types and non THC machines.
G200 is required for all users with a MASSO DTHC as the voltage parameter is required to set the height.
Legacy THC units do not use this parameter and need to manually set the cutting voltage at the THC.

Fixed NC Program reading Material thickness parameter as a Metric value when Fusion is running in Imperial mode.
Also fixed default internal values to supply correct imperial or metric values.

Used Feed optimization values in the Passes tab to set THC minimum Radius and THC Z feedrate.

Reduced Feed Radius == THC Minimum Radius
Reduced Feedrate == THC Z Feedrate.

Also fixed various metric and imperial value usages.

Updated PDF to reflect changes in the PP.
