Differences between vectorise and centerline gcode #597

Version v3.0.9
Gcode saved to sd card and used in a genuine Prusa Mk3 printer.

When I use vectorise and centerline to produce gcode for the same image they both look ok in preview but the saved gcode is quite different.

Vectorise produces this as an example.
M3 G1 X96.45 Y145.701 G1 X78.05 Y145.675 G1 X59.65 Y145.65 G1 X59.625 Y134.775 G1 X59.599 Y123.9 G1 X78.025 Y123.9 G1 X96.45 Y123.9 G1 X96.45 Y134.8 M5

Where Centerline produces this
M3 S255 G1X21.3F150 X21.4 X21.5 X21.6 X21.7 X21.8 X21.9 X22 X22.1 X22.2 X22.3 X22.4 X22.5 X22.6
**These two snippets are not equal, they are just examples.

Vectorise puts the G1 command on each line and includes both x and y on each line.
Centerline puts a G1 only on the first working line and does not always include both x and y.

While both formats may be valid gcode the result for me is that my 3D printer can run the vectorise gcode fine but cannot run the centerline gcode. Is there a way to make centerline produce the same gcode format as vectorise?

I am a first time poster here, forgive me if I miss any required information, please ask and explain if you need more. Thank you.
