My guess is that you have your G2 and G3 backwards judging by your numbers .

do you have a G01 or G00 in the next line after the G02?

Check your drawing. The centre of the circle must lie on the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the current position of the tool and the end point of the arc. Use radius method. You will always get an arc unless the radius is smaller than half the distance between the start and end points of the arc.

Effectivly end point is not in circle defined by your number. G03 X ( x end point coordinate) Z(z end point coordinate) I(distance in X from start point to center) K(distance in Z from start point to center)
