Invalid Arc Target

The Elite Series with @Redlinecnc Controller is giving me an error as follows;

Invalid Arc Target Line 29122: G2X6.8122Y3.1899I-0.0456J0.0393

I’m using VCarve Pro 12.505 and Post Processor ‘Onefinity Redline (inch)’

It seems like a Post Error of some sort, hopefully someone has seen this error?

Regards,

After reading a bit on G2 I hand edited the J0.0393 to J0.0392 and the code now runs. I tried the Redline Post processor and got the same error FYI. Not sure exactly how to not have a rounding error that the Redline does not like?

In your application, it might be worth extending the precision of the post processor by one decimal place to see if the rounding VCarve is performing is causing the issue especially if changing from J0.0393 to J0.0392.

You can edit the RealTime post processor with a test editor like Notepad or VSCode. Change the following lines from 1.4 to 1.5:

The “.4” part of the number at the end sets the number of decimal places. Change this to “.5" like so:
