Spline interpolation Appendix-619
With arc designation, two consecutive blocks must always be designated. If only one block is designated,
the error L2613 (not enough points designated for arc) will occur.
Furthermore, if the three points used to form an arc by specifying two blocks are aligned in a straight line
and arc generation is not possible, error L2613 (block data calculation error (Cir.Arc)) will occur.

2) Spline file version 01
When three consecutive path points are designated as an arc, the curve that connects those three points
will be an arc instead of a spline. If this is applied at a section requiring an arc-shaped curve, such as at a
corner, an accurate arc can be drawn with fewer path points than the spline curve.
Fig.7-16:Arc designation (Spline file version 01)
With arc designation, three consecutive path points must always be designated. If only one point is desig-
nated, the designation will be ignored, and a spline curve will be drawn. If only two points are designated,
the error L2613 (not enough points designated for arc) will occur.
If the three designated points are on a straight line and the arc cannot be generated, the error L2613 (block
data calculation error (Cir. Arc)) will occur.
