Arc Checking in Post

[Greg Williams]

Gents,

 

The below code comes from my Okuma MPmaster Post (Yes it came from my dealer).

So if,

Arccheck = 1, Use the length tolerance.

Arccheck = 2, Use the Angular tolerance

Arccheck = 3, ?

 

What is Arccheck 3?

 

Thanks Guys

 

 

arccheck : 3 #Check for small arcs, convert to linear

atol : .01 #Angularity tolerance for arccheck = 2

ltol : .002 #Length tolerance for arccheck = 1

vtol : .0001 #System tolerance

ltol_m : .0025 #Length tolerance for arccheck = 1, metric

vtol_m : .0005 #System tolerance, metric

arccheck : 3 #Check for small arcs, convert to linear

 

Test the arcs using both methods for length and angle. Convert the

arc into a line if either test result is greater than the given

tolerance.
