Arc g02 in Kiri Moto

Kiri:Moto CAM
1

Hi everyone,
I’m very new to CNC milling and as you might imagine I have no idea what I’m doing.
This is what confuses me and this is what I did:

  1. I created 2D object in Inkscape (half circle image)
  2. Imported to Kiri:Moto
  3. Scaled the image X Y Z and got object I wanted
  4. I used Outline to cut out the same half circle object
  5. No g02 in the generated g-code
    Is this how it should be or Im missing something? It uses linear moves to cut-out arc.
    P.S I would like to say that I’m very impressed what Kiri:Moto can do (watched some tutorials online) . This is amazing piece of software. Thank you for creating it.
    Thanks in advance
    Bojan

when the 2D inkscape SVG is imported into KM, it becomes faceted as it gets turned into a 3D mesh / model. KM has code for FDM devices that “recovers” arcs from curves mesh surfaces, but this code has not yet been ported to the CNC mode.

Thank you very much for your reply. Very nice software. I hope this arc thing will be ported someday.
