    solidcam producing faceted arcs

    Hi i have an issue,
    Solidcam will only produce faceted arcs (segmented lines).
    I have the VMID file showing Support arcs etc but it will only put out the segmented lines.
    I have changed The VMID file to a different type of machine but it still will not produce G2 G3 arcs.

    Anyone got any constructive ideas?
    If so I would love to hear them because I have run out .

    Phil

    Hi,
    This issue has been resolved.
    I had the convert arcs to lines box ticked in the "motion Control" tab on the operations. once ticked on an operation, it defaults to that setting on new ops unless selected differently.

    Cheers
    Phil
