Helical movements

Hello,
Does anyone know if G2/G3 command are permitted where the tool moves in XY and Z simultaneously? For instance G2 X2 Y2 Z2 I? K? J? or can moves only be made using G2 in an XY plane or YZ Plane or XZ plane using the G17-19?
Thanks.

It works perfectly in X, Y and Z on my Duet2/Ethernet running V3.3
(But there's no "K" parameter. Just I and J)

Cool thanks. What software are you using to generate the Gcode you use?

@baird1fa I write programs in C to generate GCODE directly.
All of the thin combustion chambers in this photo folder are from generated C code.

(There are some videos in there also.)The final and best result was from a design where I do either 356 or 178 "C"-shaped half-circles going around one turn while rising a total of 0.1mm in Z for the turn which lines up with the beginning of the next turn.
So Each "C" raises in Z by 2.8 x 10^-4mm or 5.6 x 10^-4mm depending on the number of "C" moves in one circle.
ANYWAY... also, most GCODE previewers don't do the Z properly on C2 or C3, but THIS one does.
