Why does this radius not show up on my display?
« on: January 29, 2009, 11:39:09 AM »
N2420 G0X-2.2500Y-2.0000
N2430 G01 Y-2.1500
N2440 X-2.1207
N2450 X-2.0354 Y-2.0646
N2460 G02X-1.9646Y-2.1354Z-0.0080I0.0354J-0.0354
N2480 G01 X-2.0500 Y-2.2207

The radius on line 2460 doesn't show on my display.  It does cut properly.

Here's a similar bit of code that does show correctly.

n1 g0x.2929y1.7071
n2 g2x1.7071y.2929i.7071j-.7071

I'm using 3.036.

Thanks,
Walt

Maybe because it's so small?

Well, I do a lot of little stuff and this is the first time I've noticed this happening.
Here's more of the same program, only the radius that is tilted on a 45 has the problem.

You can magnify the display with the mouse. On mine you click the toolpath, and I use the wheel - perhaps this will show it up. If you look on the video tutorials it will show you how.
Not me driving the engine - I'm better looking.

THere are some quirks in the old display code that on SOME PC videos it does not always draw thing s as they should. Brian is working on the NEW display code as we speak.

Hi Walt,

I get a similar thing, but this tends to be whole circles. For me its not a big problem as the machine cuts the part spot on.
Next time I'll have to look at the tool path as the machine is approaching the missing arc to see what happens with the following cross hairs.

Just curious Walt, what type of video card do you have on your PC?

On board, possibly?

Thanks,
Dave

Turns out it is a display related problem.  The problem showed up on two of my computers so I assumed it was software.  I tried the code on my third computer and it show just fine.  "To assume is to blunder".

The problem computers are running a GeForce 8500 GT and a GeForce FX 5200.  This computer has a Quadro and shows it fine.

Hope this helps with the display code rewrite.

Regards,
Walt
