Good morning

We have a problem with a conversion to G-code. When we have a entie arc the converison to G-code
makes a starting point, an end point and radius with this data we can calculate the angles and make the arc, but with a entitie circle when translated to g code we have that the start and end point generated are the same with what when calculating the angle gives us 0. When entering the G code generated in a standard viewfinder happens the same the circles do not draw them well because of this. We have seen that in code g to define a circle the g2/g3 is also used plus the point plus the center point of the arc. This can be configured in some way in the G-code converter or we are doing something wrong when calculating the circle from the G code generated by cad.net

Thanks

lines with problem G3 with R5

thanks

Hello,

For your information: G3 defines a counter-clockwise arc. An arc move starts at the current position and ends at the given XYZ, pivoting around a center-point offset given by I and J or R.

In the given case the G3 command has so-called 'R Form' where R specifies an X offset from the given X to the arc center point. In other words, if we add the R value to the center point's X, we get the X value given in G-Code.

The example below shows how to calculate a circle from the given X, Y and R:
CenterPoint.X = X - R (86.32 - 5) = 81.32;
CenterPoint.Y = Y = 41.54;
Radius = R = 5.

Knowing the values of CenterPoint.X, CenterPoint.Y and Radius, you can draw a circle.
