===[[image:Check.jpg|25px]] NEW - Communications Transfers No Longer Change the BLM Radius Levels===
<table width=700>

<tr>
<td width=300>
Setting or changing BLM radius levels could easily cause radius level mix ups during corrections loops.  The radius levels are no longer touched or changed during transfer.  <br><br>
Not setting the radius levels is no problem - since corrections loops targets the LRA data only anyway.

<table width=700>

<tr>
<td width=300>
During CORRECTION of parts with extra material on the ends, it is helpful to not allow the end lengths to change.  This keeps the carriage in approximately the same start position.<br><br>
This version of Benderlink now includes this checkbox switch to turn this feature on or off.
