First you have to set the arc plane to one that includes the
Z axis. You can use G18 for ZX or G19 for YZ. Once that
is set, then you can program an arc move in the currently active
plane with the same G02 and G03 commands. If you selected
G19, for instance, a G03 command would have J and K words
to define the location of the arc center in the Y and Z axes, respectively.
