    Arcs in Z plane

    Will Bobcad V20 do arcs, not facets, in the XZ or YZ planes?

    I also would like to know how to machine smooth arcs in the z axis. The solid is a smooth 1/4 cylinder but the code is in small straight lines. Is there a function or setting in V20 that is off? Does a newer version do smooth arcs? Forrest

    Version 20 will not. The current version does output arcs with plane rotation.
