    Been learning Aspire for some CAM work, it seems to have a bug with simple circles where it generates G-Code with hundreds of straight lines?

    Here is a simple test file - it contains two paths, first is a square with 10mm radiused corners which works perfectly. The second is a simple circle and as you can see it has used loads of straight lines this time.

    Profile 2.tap.zip

    Can this be fixed at all, I am using the post for Mach3 with Arcs and ATC.

    Thanks

    Dave can you post the Aspire file up?

    I have just drawn a simple circle in Aspire and put it through the MAch3 post without any problems.

    Have you done the cad in Aspire or imported from another cad package there is a command to close vectors with a smooth curve

    Daft question, maybe, but did you draw the circle in Aspire or import a dxf from elsewhere? I had similar problems a little while ago because I had saved the dxf in the wrong version so it ended up as a series of line segments rather than arcs.

    Hi

    the file was just a quick mess about for testing the motion on my mill conversion project.

    It was all done inside Aspire.

    File attached

    I just made a similar file in my CAD app and converted it in Aspire and its just as bad, converted in SheetCam and its perfect - about 15 lines of code :)

    Seems to be an aspire bug?
