Does use feedrate not work in circle mill with 5 axis output?

[Leon82]

It shows as rapid on the screen and posts as rapid thru camplete.

This is under saftey cylinder

2020 or 2021?

I only have 2021. I'll test it there.

Can you post a file? If you're using Safety Zone, and both your lead-out and lead-in feed moves do not violate (exist outside) the safety zone, then no feed moves will be inserted. This is a little difficult to explain in text form. A simple fix would be to expand the cylinder or decrease the lead amounts to make sure that the feed moves end within the safety zone and thus trigger the insertion of safety moves, which would occur at feed rate if you had that option checked.

It's itar and I don't have an efficient way to upload anything at the moment.

 

This is the hole to hole move like 3 holes 120 ° apart

[Chally72]

Right. Can you strip down the file to just the three holes and a single toolpath and post it here? Or perhaps make an example file that does the same thing?

I'll try .

Make sure you check your levels and blanked entities SOLID id's etc., its easy to miss something

I made one, I'll upload it tonight

Thanks for the example. I can see exactly what you mean here, and that it occurs only with safety zones and Circle Mill. It looks like it was already identified as a problem and it is fixed in 2021:

 

As a workaround in 2020, we could do something like Circle mill the groups individually and use a Multiaxis link to generate the exact same safety zone and get the correct feed move between them. I attached an example file.

Cool thanks
