G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: G-Code G15/G16 Polar coordinate

Tower,
If you are still there, did you ever find a solution? A buddy and I have the same issue so I have been working on a program that takes in XYZ G-code and outputs Length-Angle-Depth polar G-code. This is intended for cases where someone needs to carve on a plane that is perpendicular to a rotating axes. (My program assumes the 0,0 point of the polar plot is on the rotating axis) I have a program running that seems to do the job, but if you found a solution it would be great to compare notes.
