Backplot rapid

[cappy]

Hello,

 

Does anyone know if I can insert new feed rates during backplotting. I am contouring and have some areas where the cutter is cutting air. Can I speed these toolpath segments up? I remember a co-worker doing this in Surfcam.

 

Thanks.

Greg.

del,

 

Sounds like he is looking to affect the NC output.

If so...No you don't do that from within Backplot.

 

You can do this using the 'Change at Point' functionality accessed via a right-click menu in the Chain Manager. Click on the Geometry branch of your operation in the Ops Mgr to bring up the Chain Manager. Select and right click on the chain you wish to work on and select Change at Point on the popup menu.

...or...

By using the Toolpath Editor function.

You access this by right-clicking on the "main" branch of your operation in the Ops Mgr (e.g. right click on 'Contour...') The very last item in this popup menu is the 'Toolpath Editor'.
