How do I get Gibbs to post arcs with I's and J's instead of r's? Someone told me it wasn't in the post but within the software. This is for a lathe application. I've ordered a new seat of EdgeCam but I need to be cutting NOW!

Thanks
Jim

A lathe uses I and K.

Yep, your right but how do I make the software output it that way?

Thanks

This is in the post. Email a copy of your post to Gibbs and ask to modify the arc output to R.

Or

If your version of Gibbs came with PostHaste then edit your template. Add:

ByQuadrants? Y
CtrCode R

it depends on the lathe. the 2 okuma lathes we have use R for the arcs. the 2 kia lathes with fanuc controls use I and J.
