General Mach Discussion / semi circle problems

« on: March 06, 2011, 05:47:45 PM »

I am trying to generate a set of semicircles centered at x-2.8125 and y=16.25.
The first semicircle works fine but the code stops on the highlighted line with this error "Radius from end of arc is different from radius to start"
The radius from start in the first semicircle is 2.8126-1.5 =1.3125 and radius to end is 4.125-2.8125 =1.3125 and this semicircle works.
The radius from the start in the second semicircle is 2.8125-1.125=1.6875 and the radius to the end is 4.5-2.8125=1.6875 and it does not work.
I am confused.  Any help?

G0 x1.5 y16.25
z-0.3125
G02 x4.125 y16.25 i2.8125 j16.25
G1 x1.125 y16.25
G02 x4.5 y16.25 i2.8125 j16.25
G1 Z0.1

How do you get the xml into the program.  I have tried droping it on the screen in various places and it does not work.

I am sure I am setup in inches.  I wrote a program to do a 2 inch square at 1/8 inch deep.  The resulting square is 2 inches by 2 inches and 1.8 inch deep.  I only have a problem if I include the command g20 in my code.  When I do this the units change to something other than inches.

I thought that I sent the XML code yesterday, but I must have messed up the post somehow.  Here it is.
