The archs are as symetrical as they can be far as I know...

I could post the vectors drawn..

The code given above gives an error message on the boss screen after the tool change. I altered it as one of the feed rates was .5 and that. But the error said something that sounded like it didn't understand one of the subscripts (I think it said) of course there isn't enough room on the screen to give a complete sentance error and of course I didn't copy it down.

Far as the manual goes all the Gcodes in the header look like they would be acceptiable. And the manual does have R commands for circle interpolation.

If I take my drawing and move it to have the part zero in the lower left corner of the part rather then lower right the squashed parts of the arch move to the other corners of the part.

Just kinda fustrating seeing the same code runs an arch and path just fine under Mach. so maybe my machine is just showing it's age? I'd hate to think that because otherwise it runs everything else I do as good as I could ask.

Maybe I'm missing something simple but have checked the programmer manual and stuff and think it should work.

I agree that the centers of the arcs should be/could be the same since the part is symetric but I'm not seeing the squasing when I view it in the back plotter that I see when the part is run.

Anywho.
