Full Arc Outputs

[cncfrank]

Hey all: When I post out arcs, they come out in halves. I did change the questions in the post to:

 

arcoutput$ : 0 #0 = IJK, 1 = R no sign, 2 = R signed neg. over 180

 

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

 

do_full_arc$ : 1 #Allow full circle output? 0=no, 1=yes

 

helix_arc$ : 1 #Support helix arc output, 0=no, 1=all planes, 2=XY plane only

arccheck$ : 2 #Check for small arcs, convert to linear

 

Is there something I'm missing ? It's still not outputting a full circle. I also did a search here, and didn't find anything.

 

Thanks,

Frank

If you are using Ver X or higher, check in the machinecontrol definitions. Look under "Arc", then "arc breaks" and make the change there.

control def under arc

Wow quick response......I never thought to look there. Thanks it worked !!

Yeah a lot of post stuff moved there.

I am having the same problem with all of our posts. We've changed the switches in the post and in the definitions but arcs are still output in quadrants and helix bores are output in small linear moves. Any ideas?

did you look in the control definitions ? If so and you changed it, I can't help you, because it worked for me. Good Luck

look in the control def
