Let me start by saying I really like Onecnc mill software.
But I am trying to use there XR7 professional to post some thread milling code and it well only post the moves in G01 lines ,, as it rotates around the bore its cutting it into a ton of short little G01 moved in X,Y and Z ...

to do a simple program 10 threads deep its over 8,000 lines of code for two cut passes and a spring pass..

Question is how can I get it to output it in G02 or G03 ?

I can finger cam it in about 30 lines of code ( but I am trying to do less finger cam and get to know the software better )
 
In the post settings, in the "General" tab there is a checkbox for "Machine Support Helix Arcs". If you check that box you should get arcs for your thread milling code.
 
If the helix arcs checkbox doesn't work for you, there was also a setting for the amount of straight line segments per arc, or something like that.
It was either the 1st page of the post configure, or in the properties.
