Plunge and retract feeds

[gary adams]

When feeds by material group is used, how do you control the plunge and retract rates for your operation type? Mine seem to end up as 50% appx of the cutting feed value.I tend to have the by tool option selected in properties but still nominate a material and when I want the operation to react to the material I press calculate speed and feed in the tool edit dialougue which works for me apart from the plunge and retract rates.

This was a bug in X3 as well. Some of the issue got fixed and some of it did not. I quit using the "by material" option when I upgraded to X4 because some of the bugs that were related to the "by material" option were never addressed.
