Is it possible to change my Mach3 post processor to output an R instead of an I,J ? It seems to me you would have a much shorter code.

Vectric Cut2D I think I found my issue I had to change I,J made to Incremental that worked but still would like to use r as as it shortens up the code

You can modify the post to output R arcs, but it won't make the code have fewer lines, just slightly shorter on lines with arcs.
R arcs can sometimes cause problems, especially with arcs over 180°. IJ arcs are a better choice imo.Gerry
