Arc G02 G03 Issue while converting FastNEST Gcode to LinuxCNC was created by sin-do-re
Hello Everyone.
Merry Christmas.
FastCAM/FastNest is a Chinese software for generating G-Code for plasma and other 2d cutting machines.
It features some decent stuff like nesting, cutter compensation (g40,g41), and common cut, so i've decided to buy it and use it.
The way it generates the g-code is quite weird, though, because it doesnt introduce some lines like G01 (...) and G02 (...),
the converted code looks like this, below.
the problem, is i still have arc errors where the radius doesn't match from start to end, which is normal as the arcs really dont make sense in the original program.
am i missing something? the referential im using is wrong?
can anyone point me in the right direction?
thank you

Replied by Todd Zuercher on topic Arc G02 G03 Issue while converting FastNEST Gcode to LinuxCNC
Many CNC controls do not require a new line (or block) of g-code to repeat a G0, G1, G2, or G3 code on a new line if they are not changing from the previous lines, because those codes are considered "modal" (ie they are remembered). This allowed controls to save precious memory space, from the days of paper tape and when 1024k was considered a significant amount of memory. Linuxcnc is no different and will work fine with the extra repeated g-codes omitted.
Your problem with arc radii not matching the begining and end is an unrelated problem, and results from your cam program taking liberties with rounding errors. Usually there are settings in the cam program to adjust how closely the cam program must calculate the arc radius. What those settings are called and were to find them are not always straight forward or easy to figure out. (I'm not familiar with your cam program to make suggestions there.)
There are settings in Linuxcnc that will allow you to change the limits where an alarm will be set for these radius calculations. See this part of the Linuxcnc documentation.
