Hello! I'm having a problem that i don't know where it comes from, i using partmaster cad and cam to do my g code and used many post processor to see if the problem is the ppr but after 5 tests and test my program manually writed i just don't know what is the problem, can anyone help me?
The problem is i want to do some radius but my program keeps making circles... sorry for my english, it's not my motherlang

In Config. / General Config. change the IJ Mode then regen. the toolpath window.
Tweakie.

I do that, changed from absolute and incremental but nothing changes, i upload what i want to do with that program

Check this setting in Ports & Pins

Ok, i changed the setting to diameter and get no differences but if i turn off reverse arc option, i'm getting this in my program:
But i want to do the arc to the other side but idk how to setup this to get what i want.

I don't think its a Mach3/4 fault.
My Fanuc 18i controlled lathe shows the same problem.
What did you use to create the code. A Fanuc 6 post processor will get you runnable code on most CAM systems.
Standard 2 axis lathes should work in diameter mode and use incremental I and K or R in G02 and G03 commands.

Try swapping out your g02's and g03's. I edited my post processor to swap the two commands and everything is working for me now. It started for me when I upgraded from mach3 to mach4.
