[Emc-users] A simple question on I J

The interpreter manual says that, in a center format arc move (G2 or G3), only one offset word (I, J, or K, whichever are appropriate to the selected plane). Assuming for example that the XY plane is selected, and only I is specified in a center format arc move block, what Y axis offset value (J)

I believe you don't need the J. All you need are two points on the circle and a line known to contain the center. Take the two points and draw a line through them. Draw a perpendicular line through the midpoint. Where your I line intersects the perpendicular line is your radius center. Now that

I can see now that the documentation was unclear about this. I am revising it to add the sentence marked +: I and J are the offsets from the current location (in the X and Y directions, respectively) of the center of the circle. I and J are optional except that at least one of the two must

I don't know the product Infarecorder, but both the third party products that I use, NTI (Acer laptop running XP) and Nero 6 on a Win 2K machine have an option to write a bootable CD. When you do it that way it picks up the resident boot track and writes it out to the CD. This doesn't work for
