RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Simple Vector Feed Rate Setting Question

Dan:

Feed rate is a persistent variable with TurboCNC, which means that you need
enter it in your program only when it changes value.

I believe that you manually enter the speed using the NC editor. You might
also want to write a macro that assists you.

|I have been playing with my Vector program more lately and I am having it
|generate my G-Codes instead of dumping the data points to Microsoft Excel,
|but I am having a problem that the help menus do not seem to cover. How do
|I tell the NC part of the program what Feedrate for each G01 move? Is this
|something that I have to add manually to the code? What if I want
|different
|feedrates at specific times, do I just have to go in and add these F
|commands? Is the feedrate a parameter that is set just once and remains in
|effect until changed again? I am using TurboCNC for mill control.
|
|Other than that, the program works amazingly well. I only have to manually
|edit the code when the rotary table moves crosses the 0/360 degree spot,
|since the program does not realize that these locations are the same. I am
|using a rotary axis substitution for the X-axis on the CAD drawing.
|
|Thanks in advance for all of the help,
