Hi. I'm using a CNC controller (Estlcam) that does not support complete circles in one line of G-code. For example, when I import this code:
N7 G01 X9.6 Y46.3
N8 G02 X10. Y46.699 I.4 J0.0
N9 G02 X10. Y46.699 Z-4.162 I0.0 J-1.41 K-1.14

The G02 arcs (complete circles) are ignored and replaced with a G01 move to Z-4.162. Can I modify the Post to split complete circle moves into shorter arcs?
