Re: Help needed with G code

Mike,

Also, this may sound funny but try taking that Z-1.2 out of your G3
line as well. The control shouldn't need it (it's redundant because
the other information in the line is enough)and in my limited
experience coding I' and J's by hand, being too specific can sometimes
lead to trouble. Speaking of which, when I programmed the machines at
work by hand (we have had Mastercam a long time now), I used R's
instead of the I's and J's anyway. It was alwasy easier for me. If all
else fails, see if you can't just use:


G03 Y-6.2 R15.678

(That's the radius you are trying to achieve according to the numbers
you gave)

Good Luck!
