Turning off adjust feed on arc move?

[Burnt]

So I tried using adjust feed on arc move and found out what most of you probably already knew about it. It's too aggressive with its adjustments and just makes things run bad in my opinion. Problem now is it is always on by default now. I tried going into the Operation Defaults but the box is grayed out. Anyone have any ideas on how to turn it off by default?

As far as i know this can only be done in the property tab under the machine def in the file.

Maybe it's the long day that's getting to me but do you mean the Tools Settings tab in the Machine Group Properties menu? Unchecking the adjust feed box does turn it off for the session if you do it here but whenever I start a new session the box is checked again. I might be looking in the wrong area. I am on 2017 if that makes any difference.

No, you're in the right spot. Open an empty file, do the same process but save the control def and the machine def again then close that session.

Figured it out. I was only making that change to the local copy of the control definition. Under the master control definition in the feed tab there is an option for adjusting the feedrate of arc moves. Thanks for the help man!

I'm having an issue with this as well.  I followed all these steps but it's still posting the adjusted feed rate on arc moves.  When I go into the machine def and control def, it shows the "Adjust feedrate on arc moves" box is unchecked.  It is also unchecked in the Tool Settings tab.  Any ideas?

How old is your post? Have you tried with a generic post and see if you still see the same thing? If not try that and if it doesn't then something in the post is not respecting the MMD/CMD. funny the Generic 5 Axis post still don't respect the MMD/CMD where you must go to a 3rd part to get that functionality to work. All 3 Axis and 4 axis post do and all the Lathe posts do, but not the Generic 5 axis post.

It's doing it for all posts and all machine / control definitions.

 

How is it even possible that changing a setting in one control definition affects all of the definitions in my mcam folder?  Not only that, but they all show that the setting is back to normal.

Double click Files in the Toolpath Manager

then the Tool Setting page

 

halfway down the page on the left,  you'll see

"Adjust feed on arc move"

 

make sure it is unchecked

[bensls]

It is unchecked everywhere.

Well, it turns out I just had to regenerate the toolpath.  Now all of my programs are back to normal.

Yes that is important.

Hi Burnt, Check this setting out in Mastercam 2018, perhaps you should check out the Mastercam Beta Program and take advantage of this new feature.
