To be less confuzin to my ancient wet ram, I followed your format fairly closely, and now have it initializing the array of 10 value each for x & y. And the debug statement can't deal with the offsets, so the #number has to be specified on a per debug line basis. But now that I have it working, I am going to go back and scale the data so the G moves don't have to calculate all that on the fly. All this takes place in the space of 3/16" of both x & y motions if I do it right. :) But, try as I might, it seems I can get nothing out of the G5.2/G5.3 code except straight lines at an angle. And the first set of co-ords IS a continuation of the straight Y motion that got it to the starting point. So while its been educational, I think I'll go back to trying to make a 45 degree g3 meet another 45 degrees of g2 in the middle. I've spent the whole day on this and the best I can get, if I used all 10 points of the 2 arrays of data, is an initial straight line in the right direction, followed by a hand drawn curve that while Y progresses as expected, x winds back up at its point of origin.
