Vectric Aspire makes a mess of a circle?

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?

Dave when I draw a circle in my Aspire it is fine when I did another circle on your drawing it is also fine. Did you draw the circle in Aspire
The post I am using is Mach2_3_Arcs_mm.pp

Yes i drew it in aspire, same post here although i tweaked it a little to suit my machine but only in the end code i think.

Aspire does the same thing when i import a circle from my CAD app.

I'm not familiar with Aspire but most CAM applications have an option for lines or arcs as some old controllers don't support arcs.
If you select a "lines, not arcs" output option in CAM the results are as described,

On reading further. I have read that if you stretch a circle in Aspire it changes to segmented lines.

You must have modified the circle in some way.

If I export g-code for your circle, it uses G1 segment.
If I draw a new circle over the top of your, and export g-code, I get G2/G3 moves.

Nope, just drew it, chose profile and "on-line" offset then output the code.

Try drawing another circle and doing the same.
As I said, in your file, if I draw another circle it works, but your circle doesn't.
