    Question arc to arc equals dead

    visual mill 2012 will not produce arc to arc moves in either G02 or G03 on my Heidenhain 151 controller!!! Does anyone know a way around this issue?

    so far Mecsoft has been very helpful, but it appears to be more of a Heidenhain thing. I'm not sure how to alter our post. Hoping Rick@Heidenhain can be of some help.

    Unhappy help!!!

    The issue I am having is that the transition from an inside arc to an outside arc will not work or vise versa, it will run with a G01 in between the arcs with a straight or angled line but wont if they run consecutive

    Put a M97 at the end of the line between arcs

    Maybe another decimal place. The ends of the arcs may not be coincident due to rounding errors you can't see.
    Super X3. 3600rpm. Sheridan 6"x24" Lathe + more. Three ways to fix things: The right way, the other way, and maybe your way, which is possibly a faster wrong way.
