How can I convert what I just posted to John T. to R format? None of these moves approach the 180 or 360 points where R looses accuracy. 2 45's that should meet in the middle to form an S curve, and a 90. ? And maybe I found it, Johns arc tool appears to spit out good data if its in G91 mode. But that also means I have to comment out the g2/3 move target point moves. That actually simplify's the code by several lines, but is made up by the G91/G2/G3/G90 wrappers. No biggie as I can adjust it for size and intend to, by carving much cheaper wood for test pieces than $150 a board foot ebony. Probably the best bet is to just run the whole sub in G91 mode, and specify each straight runs length as opposed to its target ending point. If I have to do major work to adjust it to fit, I'll probably do just that with some math in the preamble. Thanks Andy, I think I have it whupped. Thanks Andy.
