G2/G3 Arc tolerance problem

G2/G3 Arc tolerance problem was created by GStewart
I have been having trouble porting over my old programs to EMC. I am getting arc tolerance problems. When I plot the arcs in MasterCam they are within .0001. Digging around I thought that I saw that the tolerance for inches was .0001. Is there some way to loosen up the tolerance so that my old programs will run without modification? I have 100's of these old programs it would be nice if I didn't have to redo them all.
Thanks

The tolerance is 0.0002" for inches.

You might write a python program to fix your arcs.

I went and checked it myself this morning and it seems that the problem is that the program is in absolute arc center and the control is looking for incremental arc center (I should know better than to trust the operator 
)
Is there a way to change this? I would much rather have my programs in absolute arc centers.
Thanks

Glenn,
I just looked at the docs and I don't think there is a way to use absolute arc numbers.

G90.1 puts EMC2 in absolute Arc centre mode. I don't know if it did when this question was first asked.
