Odd feedrates in triangle mesh path

[So not a Guru]

I'm trying to use the triangle mesh toolpaths, but I keep getting weird problems.

This program is using the parallel cut path, but when I code it I get 368 instanse of the feedrate =0.

 

Can someone code this on a %-axis machine & see if this is a problem with the path or just my post?

 

Thanks

I just tried it with the generic 5 axis machine def/post....The feedrates match exactly what you have in your toolpath parameters.

^{I ran this through our Zimmerman gantry mill post}

^{It posted OK and there are no F0's, but  I can't figure out where the F1. is coming from}

and ... there are only 3 feedrates in the entire program

[gcode]

I tried this in MC2017 also

On the Utilities page I enabled Rapid Feedrates and set it to 399

That changed the F1 to F399..... but this did not work in X9

I think there must be a post issue causing the multiple F0's

I'm only getting 4 feedrates in the entire file

ive seen arc feed change it. ill snap a screenshot.

Mmm, looks like my post sucks on this path. I'm using X9

I tried the utility feedrate change, bit it made no difference in my code.

The path ignores my tool axis control point too.

how old is your post?

I've got some old v9 lathe posts that have been updated all the way to MC2017 and they work fine

but an old mill post is another story

a really old post probably doesn't have the necessary parameters to support the advanced 5X stull

at some point you have to bite the bullet and get a modern post

 

edit

 

the post I tried this on in X9 and MX2017 is the same post, just updated for the newer version

and changing Fast Feedrate  setting had no effect in X9.. so it's not all post issues here

There are differences between X9 and MC2017

My post is just over a year old. Just outside of support

the post I used was purchased and written for V9 and has been updated every year since.

it's odd that the Rapid Feedrates setting works on MC2017, but not X9

this is what i'm talking about

I'll try that in the morning

jlw, I love your signature!

Nope.  I logged on remotely because it was eating at me. The arc feed mode didn't change anything
