    Break Arcs Into Lines Issue

    Hi Scott,

    #1 :

    the following code works fine with G3 but breaking the arc into lines the center of the helix is shifted in -Y direction with every 360 degrees.

    Seemes to be a calculation problem.

    O40
    G90 G80 G54 G0 X50. Y50.
    G43 Z20. H1 S1000
    G1 Z0. F1000
    G91 G41 G1 X18. Y0. F400
    P41 M98 L5
    G91 G40 G1 X-18. Y0.
    G90 G0 Z10.
    M2



    O41
    G91 G3 I-18. J0. Z-8.

    Could you please add a default value in the Break Arcs Into Lines dialogue ' Enter maximum path deviation distance:' ?

    Thanks
    Richard
