    Convert g2 g3 r to g2 g3 ijk

    Hi, what is the formula to convert a G2 or G3 command with R option to IJK option? my CNC board only accepts IJK version But some CAM software only output the R version. I am sure that this was talked before, but i cant find almost anything.

    Thank you,
    Dan

    hy if you can't fix your postprocessor, i can help you

    ijk are more or less control specific ( try i for x axis, and k for z); represents the signed distance between center and start-point; pls check also attached

    also tried to sent you a message / kindly

    metalmayhem, thank you for reply, but i need the theory to implement it in my software.
    deadlykitten, i have checked all my settings, private messaging is activated, i can receive messages from everyone. I know what IJK are, i want to calculate them only from start point, end point and radius. User Kiwi had made a small piece of software that calculate exactly that, but he is not active anymore...
