Format Motion Circular

It is used to print the circular movements (G2, G3 movements) in the APT/CL file in the appropriate format in the NC program.

Circular motion lines, which are expressed with “CIRCLE” (sometimes ARC etc.) lines in the APT/CL file, first activate “Event Circular Motion” in MANUSpost. This event includes “ActionCircularMotion” as standard.

Generally, the circular and helical motion definition is the same in the APT/CL file. MANUSpost automatically calculates the start and end point of the circular/helical motions and later decides whether the movement is circular or helical, by looking at the difference in Z values of the start and end point. If the difference is zero, the motion is determined to be circular.

ActionCircularMotion runs the Format Motion Circular. command if the motion is circular.
