i have a trocoiddal path straight through a part and would like to "shrink" it to the center of itself to make it tighter in over all cut path
make sense?
dont understand the "scale" in G code function

dont understand the "scale" in G code function
is there some literature on this thing?

Re: dont understand the "scale" in G code function
Are you cutting a straight slot? Does the GCode contain Circles/Arcs? What does a simulation plot look like?
The Transform can scale the XY directions independently, but not if there are G3 Circles/Arcs because they would then become ellipses.
Here is an example scaling the X dimension by 0.5

Scaled in X
