Is there a way to control tool tip and corner radius in one project

Hi.
Is there a way to control tool tip and corner radius in one project.
It works in corner radius set in Configure Tooling.
But we must use tool tip option.

Here is sample code.

---------------------------------
Configure Tooling > Control Point > Tool Tip

T4
M06
.
.
.
G49
G90G54
G90G00A0.0C0.0
#11199=#11004-2.0 (  #11199 = Calculated Tool Length Value  ,#11004 = Current Tool Length Value , 2.0 = Tool Corner Radius )
G90G00X0.0Y0.0
G43.4Z100.0H199 ( <= Calculated Tool Length Compensation Value )
.
.
---------------------------------

How to setting this control?
What macro is usefull for the motion?

Thanks.

If I understand you correctly, you want to modify the tool length by the corner radius ?

If this is the case you will need to make sure that AutosetToolLengthCompVars is set  correctly in Configuration > G-Code Processing > Start of Processing.

Take a look at the library fan30im.ctl in the latest V7.3.1 release.

Thanks.
How to use AutosetToolLengthCompVars in that case?
I can't understand for their using method.

Let's list a few ways I tried.

1.Start of Processing>AutosetToolLengthCompVars:Value=11000
2.T*> ToolLengthCompValue,AutosetToolLengthCompVars:Value=11000
3.Variables
#11004 | Tool Length Compensation:4* | 186
#11199 |                                          | 184

4.H* > Now What to do?
: Maybe in this position, gage offset or tool length compesation value must be changed ( #11004 =>#11199 )
