Inside of your MPFAN post should be this switch

 

quote:

arctype$ : 2 #CD_VAR Arc center 1=abs, 2=St-Ctr, 3=Ctr-St, 4=unsigned inc.,

#5 = R no sign, 6 = R signed neg. over 180

The change I that I would think you would want would be to change the arctype$ 2 to arctype 5

 

Depending on your machine.

You can replace your i,j,k with a r in your post, but not with a xyz, you need somthing to specify a arc. I find the i,j,k is the most accurate way from past experience, to change your post just search down in post for arc output, there should be a switch for i,j,k or r.

Pip,

 

I agree you should use IJK's if your machine takes them, it makes for a better program I think, there are however some machine that only want to see and R.

 

With that being said I see from his other post that he's posting something at least to a HAAS, he should be using IJK's instead of R's. In the long run he'll end up sorry he did somewhere.

 

But it's his call
