Executing an arc interpolation from the current position as the starting point requires the center coordinates and endpoint of the arc in degrees. Select either a CW or CCW arc interpolation direction and enter the arc center coordinates (incremental or absolute) and arc travel endpoint in degrees. The CW arc interpolation draws an arc from the current coordinates to the endpoint coordinates in a clockwise direction, using the center coordinates as the arc center. The CCW arc interpolation draws an arc in a counterclockwise direction. 

The figure to the right is an example of drawing an arc with the X and Y axes in a CW arc interpolation operation

See the PCL6045BL manual section 9.8.8 for more information.
