circle cutting wizard problem

[kb7vms]

Trying to cut a circle about x0 y0 of diameter 1.75". Wizard outputs code ok, but the circle is the wrong size, and is not centered on x0y0. What am i missing? Is there something else that needs to be set?

Very new to this stuff, but always learning.

Aee you using the circle cutting wizard by Kiran? Are you hitting "enter" after entering the info. You specify the center, and radius right in the wizard. It works fine here.

Yep told it x and y are zero, and diameter is 1.625. But when i post and run the code it makes a spiral. Almost hit my vise before i killed it.

Thought there may be something in settings that would affect the i and j terms.

I even tried G2 manually thru the MDI screen. But still dont have a good grasp on the terms. got circles, but wrong diameter and offset from center.

But thanks for the input;

Try changing your I,J mode to incremental. I didn't think of that.

Where is that control performed?
