Profile type of pipes in NC

Not environment-specific
Question:
When I export CNC files for pipes (PD, CHS) the type of profile is B (plate), but I would like to have the profile type as RO.
Answer:
This is because of unwrapping, it is thought that they would be originally plates, which are then formed to tubular shape. To get them as RO into NC files, you need to set XS_TUBE_UNWRAP_USE_PLATE_PROFILE_TYPE_IN_NC=FALSE in Advanced options.
