Ah! A *technical* question... Well, in regular G-code G02 or G03 says clockwise/counter-clockwise arc interpolation, given X,Y, and some combination of I,J,K,R parameters. I presume RS-274X works the same way, but I honestly only look closely at milling machine CNC code these days. -dave > > > _______________________________________________ > geda-user mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user > _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
