Arc without a centre

Parse errorThe file could not be read. Nothing is converted until the line is corrected.

What the converter says

G2 requires X, Y, I and J

Code: arc_needs_center

What triggers it

A G2 or G3 line does not carry all four of X, Y, I and J. An arc record stores both the end point and the absolute centre, so none of the four can be inferred.

Example that triggers it

How to fix it

Add the missing values. I and J are the absolute coordinates of the arc centre, not an offset from the arc start.
