You will need to do the maths. There are no g-code instructions for this.

Hello Roger,
I'm sorry but I don't understand your reply.
All you need to do is draw the arc, you can do this by using the three point arc option and choosing the first end point, middle point and second end point.

Hi Andre
Ah - you are using a CAD system? I understand.
I was talking about trying to use the G2/G3 instructions in the XZ or YZ planes, in Mach3.
Cheers
