Anyone know why the v8.0 mach 3 arcs post is not outputting g2's with I's and J's? My version 4.5 works perfect but the new V8.0 doesn't have a single arc move in the G-code for the same program.

It's working fine for me.

Double check that you're using the right post processor and the drawing has arcs in it.

That's really strange I tried the same program in both 4.5 and 8.0 and got 2 completely different groups of code. I'll check it again when I get home. I did try a generic program in V8.0 just now on a different computer and it worked with arc moves. Go figure right? I'll mess with it when I get home. :?

IF you are getting different code from the two Aspire version, then you are using two different postP's (from the drop list) to save the cutting files.
