Use this powerful option to convert path from Cartesian coordinates (XYZ code) into polar movements. Output registers are dependent of currently selected machine settings.
You can set:

• Plane (default is XY for vertical machines, and ZY for horizontal machines)
• Table center point (if it's not in toolpath zero)
• Conversion type – interpolates polar points or just converts endpoints. If you select first option, all linear and arc movements are interpolated with polar moves with a given precision.
• Convert feedrate in deg/min – linear feedrate will be converted to degrees/minute for each polar move
• Start from angle zero – first calculated polar angle will be set as angle 0

Click OK to change selected code.

Note: CNC code is formatted according to currently selected machine settings. Do not select CNC code with various G and M preparatory commands other than G0, G1, G2, G3, G90 ,G91, S, F, M3, M4 because these commands will not be (re)generated in new code.
