Has anyone created a excel spreadsheet or know of a program that will take XY g code and convert it to polar coordinate g code using G 16. I\m building a scar robotic arm and nbeed such a program.

Years ago I wrote a C program to translate polar data to XY gcode. I have also written several C code programs to post process gcode and manipulate the XYZ values or build gcode files from data. It wouldn't be hard to write a C post processor to convert XYZ gcode with something like a "G9999 X0 Y0" to define center in the source to polar.

Thanks but I knew how to convert cartesian to polar but I have several thousand lines of cartesian G code that I want converted so one line at a time wouldn't work for me.

The problem is that I am 79 and don't want to have to learn how to program in C .? Are you willing to write the post?
