Colin,
Without knowing the geometry and the code generator I'm just speculating,
but if you're suppressing the XY position output for some reason, I would
recommend putting the #UPDATE() command in the same place where you're
suppressing the output. Certainly, you can put it in @ARC to confirm
whether this is the problem.
If you're not intentionally suppressing the XY position information,
but it's not coming out for some reason, then you should determine
why it's not being output rather than using #UPDATE().
If you're getting the correct positioning information output but the
IJ vector is wrong, then the problem is more complex, and #UPDATE() will
probably not help.

Circ. Int.
Colin,
You've asked why the bad J value is comming out.
From the data you've provided, it appears your arc center output requires
signed incremental IJs. It also appears that the calculation for
the IJs in this case is being based on the previous arc rather than the
current one. This implies that the current position is not being updated
properly for some reason. I would check to see that the move
to the new start point is being properly output. If for some reason
you are suppressing this position from being output, you need to do a #UPDATE()
on #XPOS & #YPOS instead, so the system knows where to calculate the
IJ vector from.
Hope this helps,

I posted
this question last week, but I don't think I explained it properly so here
goes. Looking at the attachment when I circ. interp. the 2 bottom parts
(horizontal m/c)the G02 line comes out : G02 I-.2985 which is fine.
But when I circ. inter. the top parts the G02 line comes out: G02 I-.2985
J5.0 which is not fine. If I did the top parts first the G02 on the bottom
parts will be: G02 I-.2985 J-5.0. Each part has its own fixture offset(workplane).
The "J" value seems to be coming from the the top or bottom parts depending
which I do first. My question is why is the "J" value coming up.
I hope you can understand this.
Thank You Colin
