    Post Using R instead of I,J

    Is it possible to change my Mach3 post processor to output an R instead of an I,J ? It seems to me you would have a much shorter code.

    You can modify the post to output R arcs, but it won't make the code have fewer lines, just slightly shorter on lines with arcs.

    R arcs can sometimes cause problems, especially with arcs over 180°. IJ arcs are a better choice imo.
