Firstly, Apologies if this is not the correct area..
When I apply tooling to a circle, save the toolpaths and open in Xilog Plus - it is no longer a circle (see picture)
Looks as it should on Vcarve.
Now I can manually change the R=51.5 to R=-51.5 to correct this, but wondered if there is a more permanent fix?
i.e. is it a setting in VCarve or the Postprocessor setting, which Vectric supplied us?
Our CNC is an SCM Pratix P15
Circles radius inverted

Re: Circles radius inverted
Your g-code is resetting the center of the arc for each quadrant...strange.
What is this screen? Are you constructing a circle within VCP and toolpathing it....or do you have some kind of gadget/macro you are filling in the blanks in, and hoping to generate a circle. If it is the latter, I suspect that may be the problem.
