Michael, Are you using the same .smf and .tmp files for each case?
I'd look there. It appears the questionable G03 line in exhibit B is getting to the quadrant line (note the J0.0 in the next line).

This is the proven code for the letter "S" from the attached .pm4 & .jof files for our Bostomatic with the SPC II control. On this mill we code absolute center coorindates with 90 degree quadrants. This job was program and coded using SmartCAM V4.5 Exhibit A: N290 G1 Z-0.065 N295G3X-1.8289Y0.2188I-1.8289J0.3406 <-- start N300X-1.7399Y0.2575I-1.8289J0.3406 N305X-1.7354Y0.2848I-1.8214J0.2848 N310X-1.8214Y0.3709I-1.8214J0.2848 N315X-1.8336Y0.37I-1.8214J0.2848 N320G2X-1.8359Y0.37I-1.8359J0.4542 N325X-1.9201Y0.4542I-1.8359J0.4542 N330X-1.918Y0.4731I-1.8359J0.4542 N335X-1.8289Y0.52I-1.8289J0.4119 N340X-1.7399Y0.4731I-1.8289J0.4119 N345G1X-1.7365Y0.4682 <-- end N350 G1Z0.05R I then had to reprogram this job to our Hurco mill with an OM Fanuc control. On this mill we code 90 degree quadrants with incremental center coordinates. So I changed the Job Plan .jsf file and recoded it using SmartCAM V4.5 .

Thus a silly "S" on the Hurco. So I brought this into SmartCAM V11.5 and coded it for the Hurco. Ran it, and it works!
