G03 problem was created by Nick
Hi there!


I'm one of developers gcodetools - extension for Inkscape, and some of the users reported me about bad Gcode.

Error comes up at the 43th line of attached Gcode. EMC starts to cut huge arc (outer part) instead of small part of it. What can be wrong? I've checked it at the piece of paper and saw no error :dry:.

Here's the part of the Gcode. Error shows at the last line.

G03 X61.191611 Y58.064341 Z-1.278559 I20592.241225 J-41151.968089

Strange thing that this error is not shown in the Axis preview and appears only during machining.


Thanks in advance :).

At least i get similar bug
I guess it's somehow related to floating point errors - requested arc length (~10^-2) is very small compared to radius (~10^5).

Micges pointed me to interp_internals.hh file where is living constant for comparision
git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=emc2.git;a=blo...b7d2a318;hb=HEAD#l50
And further tests show that if |end - start| << 10^-5 * R then it treats it as full circle.

Thanks a lot for the answer!

I'll fix that in Gcodetools. I have thought that such small arcs are unreasonable but have no reason to replace them by straight lines. Now I have one :).
