Tool diameter and offsets

I have opened up a hole to diameter 20mm but I want it to measure 20.05 mm, I know I could redraw this or alter the code to make hole slightly larger.
I have tried changing tool diameter in tool offsets but this does not do anything, I must be doing something wrong, please help.

Hi Jeremy,

Once you have changed the tool diameter, the job will need to be post processed once again to update the G code. but as you said it would be just as easy to draw the circle slightly larger.
