I'm using VisualMill to generate helixes. It generates lines like.
G1 Z0.635 F55.5 G17 G3 X3.225 Y-12. Z-0.5 I0.19679 J-0.10232 P4.553186 F222. But linuxcnc complains that the P value isn't an integer. "P value not an integer with G2 or G3" However the G2/G3 documenation in the wiki says partial P values are supported. To program an arc that gives more than one full turn, use a P word specifying the number of full or partial turns of arc. . Multi turn helical arcs are supported and give motion useful for milling holes or threads Are partial revolutions supported? Or is that just an incorrect check in the interpreter code validation? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
