RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Traveling Salesman Syndrome

Fred:

Am I correct in my thinking that the "reorganize" command of VectorCAD takes
care of "drawing" the object in a manner that attempts to minimize the
number of extraneous moves?

| Hi Fred,
| My GCodes are made in a text editor or with Turbocad. I
| found it strange nobody talks about making their GCodes faster
| by removing excessive traveling. I have trained myself to draw
| my DXF files the same way I want the part milled. I guess when
| your machine can move at 50ft per minute, 30 extra traveling
| moves make little difference. My machine only moves at 12" per
| minute so I have to be resourceful.
