    Cutting circular profile with G01

    Hello, I want you help!!!!!

    I have a small 2.5 axis CNC milling machine and I want to cut the circular profiles not with G02 or G03 but with G01 (many small lines). I create a post for this machine but, I don’t know (at the code wizard in Edgecam 2012 R1) how regulate the circular profile into many small lines in order to cut it with G01 command.

    Many thanks!!!!!!!!

    I'd assume there should be something that says "output linear segments as arcs" turn that off.

    Many thanks for your answer....

    by I haven't see something "output linear segments as arcs" option at code wizard or at operators parameters at edgecam....

    Easiest way to do this is go to the machine tab of your post and set the 'arc planes' field to 'none'. See jpeg.
