Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Why won't this work in EMC?

Hi John

Ray Henry pointed out this problem over christmass - After much testing, it
was found that only certain ranges of diameters would be skipped when doing
full circles. This is not a bug in EMC as such, more the underlying libaries.
I was unable to reproduce the problem on my BDI-TNG install, but it was
consistantly repeatable on a BDI install up to 2.11.

The solution is to either break the move into arcs or upgrade the software.
A fix has been made in the CVS sources and also to the current BDI - I will
try to upload the latest rpm to www.linuxcnc.org this evening.

Regards, Paul.
