Thank you John It is courtesy of your tutorials that i have a very basic understanding of python in the first place. I will go and poke around the source of your Arc Generator and see what i can figure out, At least i know how one would go about this now and that it is possible. As always making things work in practice takes a bit more than making them work in theory.
The reason for this silliness in the first place is I have one old controller that has not been replaced with linuxCNC yet. It only recognizes absolute arks. All my programs are programed with relative arcs and it is driving me nuts making a second copy and hand editing any of my programs that i have to run on this machine. Now i have two versions to keep current ect. ect. What I am aiming for is to keep one master program and run it the way it is on my linux machine or run it through a post for my non linux machine until i get to replacing this one odd controller.
