Programming of a full circle with radius specification not possible.

Description

Specifying only the radius is insufficient data for a full circle, since this specification would allow an indefinite number of circles – the circle centre could lie on a full circle with radius R around the start/end point. Therefore, it is necessary to program full circles via the centre point instead of using the radius.

Example:

Wrong:

N10   G00 X0 Y0 Z0

N20   G02 X0 Y0 R10 F1000

N1000 M30

Correct:

N10   G00 X0 Y0 Z0

N20   G02 I10 F1000

N1000 M30
