Use R instead of I and J URGENT

[dlewis1000]

I found a post on the post website for Techno CNC routers. I modified it a little bit but I still need it to export R instead of I and J on G2 and G3. I tried to add the "Use Radius" option from the generic HAAS.cps post with no luck. I'd rather have it just export R all the time with no need for the option. 

Could someone lend a hand with this? I think this is all we need to get HSM working with this router.

Did you see that there is a techno cnc post on the library with much more functionality (eg useRadius property to toggle between IJK and R):

saw, but a bad idea to generalize. to take out all that is possible in the parameters, it is good for common postprocessors, but when the postprocessor is for a particular machine. this is a bad decision. the person asked to replace the arc with a radius, he got an example, if he needs to implement a switching mechanism, then he will ask how to implement it.

You can easily merge the code for R output from the latest post to your customized post. Therefor have a look into the onCircular() function.

I can't thank you enough for the quick turn around on that. Worked great.

Techno CNC's website links to the post that I started with. The one you linked to doesn't look correct for this HDS machine even after playing with settings.
