Option curve converted is not in my post. As post I use Mach3 with scriber. THC is Neuron Lite. Any suggestions about the post? Neuron and UCCNC works like a charm, it is only this little thing.

Check your post processor editor again, there should be a line with "minArcSize". Use the search function.
If that does not help, maybe you can copy all the text from your post file to the forum.

You may want to change this to one of the sync macros
thcOnCode = M101
thcOffCode = M102

You may want to change this one to say 2mm.... I think you will struggle to detect an arc with plasma having a radius less than 2mm
minArcSize = 0.2 --arcs smaller than this are converted to moves

You may want to add this to your post
post.SetOptions(
post.ARC_SEGMENTSIt will break a circle into segments.... It helped me out with a problem I had a while ago
There is a bit of waffle here
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2265&p=19653&hilit=post.SetOptions+post.ARC_SEGMENTS#p19653Plus sure there are others on the plasma spider a sheetcam forums

Still fighting with the post. In the post I uploaded here , there is m101 and m102. In the programs used for cutting yesterday, there is m10.1 and m11.1????!!!!! Strange. I will take a look there later. THC on/off is working anyway, that is not a problem. I am very carefull with a post that is is not flying around everywhere. From every computer I use, post has to be the same. No thinking, just cutting. So , this will need some investigation how that is possible.
The jerky movement has some to do with the small arcs, no doubt about that. I think the solutions mentioned above will fix it. Keep you posted about the result, thanks a lot.

Thinking about thc on/off. It is in pathrules probably. Is that possible? Strange, those different m codes.

What sort of THC are you using?
There are a few macros that work in sync with the gcode (i.e. the machine does not slow down to implement then accelerate back up which can create [what some of us pedantic ] plasma users call a divot ....
These Gcodes are (from the UCCNC manual):
Enable THC (Torch Height Control) control for plasma: M205
Disable THC (Torch Height Control) control for plasma: M206
Enable the THC (Torch Height Control) delay for plasma: M207
Disable the THC (Torch Height Control) delay for plasma: M208
Enable the THC (Torch Height Control) anti dive function for plasma: M209
Disable the THC anti dive function for plasma: M210
Enable the THC (Torch Height Control) anti down function for plasma: M211
Disable the THC (Torch Height Control) anti down function for plasma: M212
Other synchronous G-Codes (actually "M"-codes (Miscellaneous / Macro)) are:
Activate synchronous fast PWM (laser) output: M10
Deactivate synchronous fast PWM (laser) output: M11
Activate synchronous fast digital output: M10.1 … M10.10
Deactivate synchronous fast digital output: M11.1 … M11.10
A pin can be assigned for each enable + disable function.
