Is there a way to replace arcs into segments?


Recommended Posts

Hi people, I'm Mastercam 9 user.

 

I'm in trouble with a mill machine that cannot do arc moves, only linear moves. (it's too old!)

 

Is there a way (in the software, editing the post processor or by external nc editors) that allows me replace all arcs into linear segments?

Good answer Reko! Thanks a lot.

 

But in version 9 I don't have "Control Definitions" like in X version.

 

Is there a line command for Mastercam 9 that I can add directly on the Post file and has the same effect?

 

htm01 have a good idea too, but in my case I'm using surface toolpaths and it isn't works for surface geometries, only spline curves.
